Virgin has to do with clearity - the lighter the more virgin.
That's because organized crime has it's fingers in it over there.

I have a Greek friend in the olive oil import/export business he told me all about it. I designed his logo and have a few bottles and cans of the stuff, it's too rich for most uses, just overpowers you with flavor.

I can get you some of the good stuff..........shhhh.
