What it is

100% Pure Olive Oil is a natural oil extracted from the fruit of the olive tree. It is produced by pressing olives to release their oil, which is then separated from the pulp and water. The "pure" designation indicates it is a blend of refined olive oil and virgin or extra virgin olive oil.

Why it's used

Olive oil is primarily used as a cooking fat and a flavorful ingredient in dressings, marinades, and sauces. Manufacturers use it for its distinct taste, smooth texture, and ability to enhance the overall flavor profile of food products.

Health notes

Olive oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated olive oil and its components, recognizing its nutritional value. Research suggests that regular consumption of olive oil may be associated with cardiovascular benefits, though it is not a cure for any disease.

Allergen info

Olive oil is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
