What it is

Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is the highest grade of olive oil, made from the fruit of the olive tree. It is produced by mechanically pressing olives without the use of heat or chemicals, preserving its natural flavor and nutrients. This method results in a flavorful oil with a low acidity level.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil for its rich, fruity flavor and healthy fat profile. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and as a finishing oil for dishes. Its distinct taste also makes it a popular choice in Mediterranean cuisine.

Health notes

Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which are associated with heart health benefits in dietary guidelines. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated olive oil and its components. Research suggests potential benefits for cardiovascular health, but it is not a cure for any disease.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Olive oil is derived from olives, which are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
