On a can of spaghetti sauce you see that olive oil is the second ingredient that means what?

With all spaghetti sauce, the ingredient's are very important. The best ones use only the finest ingredients, such as, Olive oil, Basil, REAL Tomato, and cheese in some sauces. The best cheese sauces have 4-6 cheeses in them. Olive oil is VERY expensive and only the best sauces have it as a main ingredient such as being the second ingredient.
