Consecrating Oil

By Kim Siever, 09 Jun 2005

In Duties and Blessings of the Priesthood, Part B, it states the following regarding consecrated oil.

One or more Melchizedek Priesthood holders must consecrate olive oil before it is used to anoint the sick or afflicted. No other oil may be used.

There is no mention about whether it should be extra virgin, virgin, or plain ol’ olive oil. Yet there seems to be a tendency?¢‚Ǩ‚Äùperhaps tradition?¢‚Ǩ‚Äùfor Latter-day Saints to exclusively use extra virgin olive oil.

Why is that?
