Aceite de oliva, or olive oil, is a nutrient-rich liquid fat derived from pressing olives, traditionally cultivated in Mediterranean regions. A cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, it is prized for its distinct flavor and versatility in cooking, from dressings to sautéing and roasting. Olive oil is predominantly composed of healthy monounsaturated fats, specifically oleic acid, which supports heart health by potentially reducing bad cholesterol levels. It is also rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and polyphenols, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Extra virgin olive oil, the least processed variety, retains the most nutrients and natural flavors. Its calorie density means moderation is key, as excessive consumption can lead to unwanted weight gain. While a popular choice for health-conscious diets, olive oil's smoke point should be considered when cooking at high temperatures to avoid breakdown and potential production of unhealthy compounds.
