Differences in olive oil:
extra virgin oil olive - oil from the first pressing. It has not been treated (usually) to any heating or subjected to any purification process during the extraction. I like to think of it as a finishing oil, much like a finishing salt. Nice to add it to a finished dish, at the end of cooking. EVOO is can also be unfiltered, which then makes the smoking point much lower. So it's not a good oil to use for cooking that involves high heat, since you could lose all that great flavor and "scorch" the oil.
olive oil - has been treated to some heat or chemicals during extraction. It is a generic term and to me, means that it's not an EVOO and will not have that lovely flavor or some of the health benefits. However, it makes a great cooking oil with a high smoking point and it's relative inexpensive.
Hope this helps.
