Azeite de Oliva, or olive oil, is a liquid fat derived from olives, a fruit native to the Mediterranean Basin. Renowned for its key role in Mediterranean cuisine, it is made through pressing olives to extract their pure oil. Rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, olive oil is celebrated for its heart-healthy properties, aiding in lowering LDL cholesterol and supporting brain health. Packed with antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, it offers anti-inflammatory benefits and contributes to overall wellness. Extra virgin olive oil, the least processed form, retains the highest nutrient content and robust flavor. While olive oil is calorie-dense, moderation ensures its benefits are maximized. It’s a staple in dressings, marinades, sautéing, and baking, offering both versatility and nutrition. However, overheating olive oil can degrade its healthy compounds, so low to medium heat is recommended for cooking.
