Are you sure? Non virgin olive oil is cheaper and widely available in the US. If it doesn’t say EVOO and just days “olive oil” it’s not a first press and has the high smoke point. It’s not difficult to find. It’s in every American grocery store I’ve ever been to in my 30 adult years of cooking. Mayyyybe that’s the case at some high end grocery stores with a limited selection and all of the olive oils are high quality extra virgin. But that would be an awful over sight and kind of funny. Again, that’s never been my experience. Again, if the bottle just says “olive oil”, it’s a lighter colored 2nd or 3rd press and will this not be the low smoke point 1st press (which is extra virgin).
