Cover artwork: fresh yellow-green olive oil emerging from the centrifuge and flowing down a chute.
Extra virgin olive oil appeared in 1960, after a decade of scandalous adulteration. Then, it denoted quality. Today, not so much.

It looks pretty and Prince Charles (lol) said it's sustainable is, uh, not how you adjudicate environmental impact.
The standard riposte to that is, you're eating the wrong ones. Well grown, they are delicious. But the ones you are most likely to find piled high in a supermarket are not well grown. So, yes and no.
