About Olive oil
Olive oil, derived from pressed olives, is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine and renowned for its rich flavor and versatility. Packed with monounsaturated fats, it is considered a heart-healthy oil that may help reduce bad cholesterol levels when used in moderation. Olive oil is also a source of antioxidants, like vitamin E, and compounds such as polyphenols that support overall health and reduce inflammation. Extra virgin olive oil, the least processed variety, retains the most nutrients and robust flavor. Commonly used for sautéing, dressings, and marinades, its smoke point makes it less ideal for high-heat cooking. While olive oil is calorie-dense and should be consumed moderately, its health benefits make it a superior choice compared to some saturated fats. The oil’s origin spans countries like Spain, Greece, and Italy, with each region bringing unique flavors to this globally cherished ingredient.
