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 pressing olives without the use of heat or chemicals, preserving its natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients. This method results in a flavorful oil with a low acidity level.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use extra virgin olive oil for its rich flavor and healthy fat profile. It's often used in salad dressings, marinades, for sautéing, and as a finishing oil drizzled over dishes. It is commonly found in Mediterranean-style foods, sauces, and baked goods.
Health notes
Extra virgin olive oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which are associated with heart health benefits in dietary guidelines. JECFA has evaluated olive oil and established specifications for its quality and composition. Research suggests potential benefits from its consumption, but it's important to consume it as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Extra virgin olive oil is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
