Dans le domaine oléicole, la dénomination «vierge» renvoie à un seuil de qualité, soit 2 grammes d'acide oléique pour 100 grammes d'huile. Comme l'huile d'olive dite «extravierge» surpasse le seuil de qualité attribué à l'huile d'olive dite «vierge», l'huile d'olive extravierge est, d'un point de vue scientifique, «plus vierge» que l'huile d'olive vierge. 5, record 2, French, - huile%20d%27olive%20extravierge
