Extra Virgin Olive Oil And Cold Pressed Lime Oil Blend

This blend combines extra virgin olive oil, a natural oil extracted from olives, with cold-pressed lime oil, which is derived from the peel of limes. The cold-pressing method helps preserve the fresh, bright flavors and aromas of both ingredients. It is used to add a distinct taste and aroma to food products.

This blend is primarily used as a flavoring agent to impart a citrusy and slightly fruity taste. It can enhance the overall flavor profile of savory dishes, dressings, marinades, and sauces. Manufacturers add it to products like soups, rice dishes, and chicken preparations to provide a fresh and zesty note.

Extra virgin olive oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Lime oil is also considered safe for consumption. Both are natural food components. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have not classified these specific oils as carcinogenic. Evidence suggests that olive oil, particularly extra virgin, contains beneficial compounds like monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which are associated with positive health outcomes when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated olive oil and its components.
