Extra virgin - considered the best, least processed, comprising the oil from the first pressing of the olives.
Virgin - from the second pressing.
Pure - undergoes some processing, such as filtering and refining.
Extra light - undergoes considerable processing and only retains a very mild olive flavor.
Extra virgin should be green in color. It has a higher antioxidant content (phenols) and is just better for you all-around. Hope it helps.
