What changes nutritionally from first press to !(virgin) oil?? Is there really a big difference, or do people just like to say "Extra-virgin" ?

The difference is the Italians buy Spanish oil and rebrand them as their own. Only Spanish oils are the highest quality and can achieve the Extra-Virgin denomination. So there is a 99% of chances when you buy any Italian oil, that is not locally produced or Extra-virgin. Fraud as usual.

This is a rather bold claim. Source?
