Expeller Pressed Canola Oil And Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This ingredient is a blend of two types of vegetable oil. Expeller-pressed canola oil is made from the seeds of the canola plant, with oil extracted by mechanical pressing without chemical solvents. Extra virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of olives, a fruit.

This oil blend is used to add richness, improve texture, and carry flavor in foods. Manufacturers often use it in baked goods like crackers and biscotti, as well as in snack mixes.

Both canola oil and olive oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these oils, and they are commonly consumed worldwide. Current research suggests that moderate consumption of these oils is associated with positive health outcomes.
