Extra virgin olive oil is a premium, unrefined oil derived from the first cold pressing of olives, predominantly grown in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain, and Greece. Known for its rich, fruity flavor and distinct aroma, it is a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, used in dressings, marinades, cooking, and dipping. Nutritionally, extra virgin olive oil is a source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which may support cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. Unlike refined oils, it retains its natural nutrients due to minimal processing. While it is calorie-dense, with approximately 120 calories per tablespoon, its health benefits outweigh concerns when used in moderation. For optimal nutritional value, it’s best consumed raw or in low-heat cooking to preserve its beneficial compounds. Avoid deep frying with it, as excessive heat can degrade its quality.
