Olive oil is a versatile and nutritious fat derived from pressed olives, widely used in Mediterranean cuisine and celebrated for its rich flavor and health benefits. Packed with monounsaturated fats, it supports heart health by helping regulate cholesterol levels. Olive oil is also a source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage. Extra virgin olive oil, the least processed variety, retains the highest nutrient density and authentic flavor. It’s ideal for dressings, marinades, and light sautéing but has a lower smoke point, making it less suitable for high-temperature frying. While olive oil is high in calories, its potential to reduce inflammation and promote cardiovascular health makes it a valuable addition to balanced diets. With its origins rooted in Mediterranean regions, olive oil serves as both a culinary staple and a cornerstone of healthier eating habits.
