Olives can be pressed for their oil, but modern methods involve crushing, mixing, and centrifuging the olives to separate the oil from the pulp. Oil remains in small quantities after centrifugation. Olive pomace oil is the leftover oil that can be extracted with chemical solvents. There are several grades of olive oil, each with a different nutritional content and amount of processing. Anti-inflammatory compounds are found in extra virgin olive oil.
