Extra virgin olive oil is a high-quality oil extracted from fresh olives without the use of heat or chemicals, preserving its natural flavors and nutrients. Often associated with Mediterranean cuisine, it plays a prominent role in dishes from countries like Italy, Greece, and Spain. Packed with monounsaturated fats, extra virgin olive oil is widely celebrated for its heart-healthy benefits, including improved cholesterol levels and reduced inflammation. It also contains antioxidants, such as vitamin E and polyphenols, which contribute to overall health by combating oxidative stress. Although nutrient-dense, olive oil is calorie-rich, so moderation is key to reaping its benefits without overconsuming calories. Its robust flavor makes it versatile for dressings, marinades, sautéing, or drizzling over prepared dishes, adding both taste and nutritional value. However, it’s best used raw or in low-heat cooking to maintain its beneficial properties.
