smart1 you need to tell us the size and brand of the bottles of olive oil , possibly the Extra virgin is on special offer at the moment. Extra virgin oil costs a lot more to produce so it is normally more expensive, I have NEVER seen it cheaper than standard oil , usually extra virgin is around twice the price.

I only ever buy extra virgin. I can't see the point in buying plain OO - it hasn't got the taste or nutrients of extra virgin, so you'd be better off buying sesame or something else if you don't want extra virgin.
If you're saying the plain oil is dearer you must be buying it from Waitrose and your EV from Lidl.

Just as a "point to remember"... (i went on a tour guide of Corfu into an Olive Oil making monastary.. blah blah blah.
Olives are apparently put in hessian sacks and then steeped in boiling water.
when they have been there for as long as they need to be, they are pressed while they remain in the sack..
the first pressing is the clearest and finest "virgin" olive oil.
additional pressings from the same sack are used in soaps and lubricants.

Well..... that's what I was told... may(or may not) be of interest to you!
(if its not of interest... sorry to bore you with it)
