	The grades of olive oil are:
olive oil
virgin olive oil
extra-virgin olive oil
extra-extra-virgin olive oil

	Extra-virgin olive oil is produced
from the first cold pressing of the olives.
Extra-extra-virgin olive oil is specially
filtered extra-virgin olive oil.

	Determination of grade generally employs 
application of isotopic techniques for the 
authentication of extra-virgin olive oil. The 
carbon 13 and deuterium contents of a natural product 
are excellent indicators of the biosynthetic pathway 
via which they are produced. The carbon 13 and deuterium 
content of the water and carbon dioxide taken up by the 
plant during its growing period relate to both climatic 
(rainfall, temperature) and geographical (altitude, 
distance from the sea) effects and are reflected in the 
content of isotopes in the final product, i.e. the oil.
