===============================================

No oil can be considered whole once extracted, in the sense that it is

no longer part of the whole food. However, the oil itself can be

considered whole as long as it is stone ground or pressed, at very low

heat, and not filtered or refined, thus retaining everything that would

be in it. It is always best to use unrefined, non-filtered stone ground

or cold pressed oils anyway. I might be wrong but I believe that olive

oil is usually the only one that you can find that is not filtered. Most

of the others are filtered for clarity.
