The premise behind this test is that exta-virgin olive oil is comprised of mostly monounsaturated fats which solidify when cold. So, if you put real extra-virgin olive oil in the fridge, it ought to become thick and cloudy. Some high-wax varieties of olive oil will even solidify completely.

I have olive oil that does exactly that when cold.

I don’t think it’s the extra virgin, though.
