<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of variety and extraction system on the physico-chemical and sensorial characteristics of olive oils produced from three dominant varieties of Algeria (Azeradj, Chemlal and Sigoise). The olive oils were extracted by three different processes (pressure system, two-phase centrifugation and traditional process). Physicochemical parameters including free acidity, peroxide value, absorbance in ultra violet (K232, K270, ΔK) and sensory evaluation were studied. The results show that free acidity, peroxyde value and K<sub>270</sub> were influenced by the extraction system and variety. Olive oils obtained from the two phases centrifugation and Chemlal cultivar were characterized by higher oxidative stability.
