What it is

Extra virgin organic olive oil is the highest grade of olive oil, made from the first pressing of organic olives without the use of chemical solvents or excessive heat. It is produced by crushing olives and then extracting the oil from the resulting fruit paste. The 'extra virgin' designation means it meets specific standards for flavor, aroma, and low acidity.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use extra virgin organic olive oil for its rich flavor and healthy fat profile. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and as a finishing oil for dishes. It can also be used for low-to-medium heat cooking.

Health notes

Extra virgin olive oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, which are associated with heart health benefits in scientific literature. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated olive oil. Evidence suggests that regular consumption as part of a balanced diet may contribute to cardiovascular health.
