superfine
Beyond merely excellent
Superfine means exceptionally fine—finer than fine.
The word describes texture, quality, or grade: superfine sugar has smaller crystals than regular granulated, superfine wool comes from the softest fibers.
In casual use, superfine can simply mean excellent or first-rate: The meal was superfine.
