99.70% Olive Oil

Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained from olives, a traditional tree fruit native to the Mediterranean region. It is produced by pressing whole olives to extract their oil. The quality and flavor depend on the olives used and how they are processed.

Olive oil is primarily used as a cooking oil and a flavorful ingredient in dressings, marinades, and sauces. Manufacturers use it for its distinct taste and its ability to add richness and moisture to food products.

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. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of olive oil, as part of a balanced diet, may have positive health effects, though more research is ongoing.
