I'm finding the whole olive oil thing a bit confusing! I always use organic cold pressed unfiltered extra virgin olive oil (in dark bottle), thinking it is high in Omga 3 but today found a bottle of first cold pressed extra virgin italian olive oil with nutritional value on bottle and was shocked to see per 100ml polyunsaturates 8g of which alpha linolenic (omega3) .6g and linoleic (omega 6) 7.4g. This was a much higher ratio than I would have expected.
Maybe it's just me but would like some input.

Thanks
Morgan
