Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine made from the first cold pressing of olives; it’s widely used for dressings, finishing dishes and low-heat cooking because of its flavor and aroma. It is almost entirely fat, providing 100g of fat per 100g, and is prized for its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its characteristic fruity, peppery taste. Extra virgin olive oil also supplies fat‑soluble antioxidants and vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin K, and is valued for heart‑friendly fats and polyphenols that act as antioxidants when included in a balanced diet.
