About Virgin olive oil

Virgin olive oil, a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, is made by pressing fresh olives without the use of heat or chemicals. Known for its rich, fruity flavor, it retains more nutrients compared to refined oils. Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, virgin olive oil may help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) while boosting good cholesterol (HDL). It's also a source of antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which combat inflammation and protect cells from damage. Virgin olive oil contains no trans fats, and when used in moderation, it can be part of a balanced diet. However, its high calorie density means portion control is key. Traditionally used in dressings, marinades, and low-heat cooking, this versatile oil enhances health and flavors alike, carrying centuries of culinary tradition.
