When we look for the best extra virgin olive oil, we do it based on its qualities. And one of the most important is density.
Today we are going to tell you why this is so important.
Tasting a good aove makes all the difference. Whether it is to accompany a toast with tomato and Iberian ham, which few people, if any, can resist. Or if it is to prepare a haute cuisine recipe or a traditional homemade stew. It is very clear that the better the oil, the better the result of the dish. In addition to its healthy contributions to our health.
The density of the oil plays a fundamental role. This quality refers to the amount of mass in kilograms in a given volume in liters.
To know if an oil is of high quality, it is necessary to analyze its purity level. And this leads us directly to analyze its density, which is why this is so decisive. The denser the aove, the greater the amount of pure oil it will concentrate. And the less amount of water.
Do you remember the experiment you did as a child at home or at school with water and oil? When you mixed the two liquids in a glass, you could see very well how the water went down. And this meant that water is much denser than oil.
The UN set a temperature of between 16 and 17 degrees to measure the density of olive oil. And at these conditions, in order to consider an olive oil to be of supreme quality, its density must be 0.916 kilograms per liter.
When the oil is subjected to a higher temperature, its density changes. It decreases. And when it is subjected to a lower temperature, its density rises.

Which oil has the highest density?
Here we have to make a note. Although density is a key quality to classify the quality level of an olive oil, it is not the only important thing.
And we emphasize this because there are other vegetable oils that may have a higher density, and others a lower one, than the aove. But this does not mean that they are of better quality, nor do they have anything to do with its properties. Especially those that refer to the properties that we can benefit from for our health.
Linseed oil has a higher density, namely 0.926 kilograms per liter. Soybean oil has a density of 0.919 kilograms per liter. However, its qualities are very different from those of olive oil.
Therefore, when you want to buy extra virgin olive oil, pay attention to its density. But also in its other characteristics to make sure you choose the best. If you go to our online store, it won’t take you less than a couple of minutes.
