Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

	Extra-virgin olive oil is a high-quality item that occasionally costs as much as double the amount as common or extra-light olive oil. Extra-virgin olive oil means that the oil is from the first cold-press, a process of pressing olives without the use of heat or chemical treatments. The acidity level must be under .08%. Extra-virgin olive oil is judged to have a superior taste over other olive oils.
