What it is

Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. It is produced by pressing whole olives and extracting the oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the highest grade, made by mechanical means without heat or chemicals.

Why it's used

Olive oil is used as a cooking oil, for sautéing and frying, and as a dressing for salads and vegetables. Manufacturers use it as a fat source, flavor enhancer, and to add richness to foods like pasta sauces, dips, and baked goods.

Health notes

Olive oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy. JECFA has evaluated olive oil and established specifications for its identity and quality. Some research suggests that regular consumption of olive oil may be associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, but more research is needed.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Olive oil is derived from olives, which are fruits, not one of the nine FDA major allergens.
