Olive oil is a versatile and nutrient-rich oil derived from pressing olives, a fruit primarily grown in Mediterranean regions. A cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, it is prized for its robust flavor and numerous health benefits. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which supports heart health by helping to lower bad cholesterol levels. It's also a good source of antioxidants, including vitamin E and polyphenols, which combat oxidative stress. Extra virgin olive oil, the least processed form, retains the highest levels of nutrients. While its fats are considered healthy, olive oil is calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation to avoid excessive calorie intake. Its buttery texture and distinctive taste make it popular for dressings, marinades, sautéing, and dipping, adding both flavor and nutrition to a wide variety of dishes.
