Aceite de Olivo, or olive oil, is a liquid fat extracted from olives, a key crop originating from the Mediterranean region. Celebrated in Mediterranean cuisine, it is renowned for its rich flavor and versatile use in cooking, salad dressings, and marinades. Olive oil is classified into types such as extra virgin, virgin, and refined, with extra virgin being the least processed and most nutrient-dense variety. It is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants like polyphenols, which may support inflammation reduction and cardiovascular health. Regular consumption has been linked to improved cholesterol levels and potential longevity benefits. However, due to its caloric density, moderation is essential to avoid excessive caloric intake. Olive oil lacks significant protein or fiber but complements balanced diets effectively. It remains a staple for health-conscious individuals worldwide, prized for its culinary appeal and nutritional value.
