What it is
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 the oil's natural flavor and nutrients. This oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet.
Why it's used
Extra virgin olive oil is primarily used as a flavorful cooking oil and finishing oil. Its rich taste makes it ideal for salad dressings, marinades, and drizzling over finished dishes. It is also used in baking and sautéing.
Health notes
Extra virgin olive oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which are associated with heart health benefits in dietary patterns like the Mediterranean diet. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated olive oil. Evidence suggests that regular consumption as part of a balanced diet may contribute to positive health outcomes.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Olive oil is derived from olives, which are fruits.
