What it is

Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. Both are extracted through pressing or crushing, and sometimes with the use of solvents, then refined.

Why it's used

These oils are used as cooking oils for frying, sautéing, and baking due to their relatively high smoke points and flavor profiles. They also act as emulsifiers in dressings and sauces, and contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of many processed foods.

Health notes

Olive and canola oils are primarily composed of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists both as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated these oils. Research suggests that diets rich in unsaturated fats can be beneficial for heart health, though evidence on specific health outcomes is ongoing.

Allergen info

Neither olive oil nor canola oil are derived from the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
