About Oil, olive, salad or cooking
Olive oil is the cornerstone of Mediterranean cooking — pressed from olives and poured over salads, drizzled on bread, and used to cook just about everything around that part of the world. Its flavor ranges from buttery and mild to peppery and grassy depending on the olives and the pressing.
Like all oils it's pure fat and very energy-dense, but it's the kind of fat that gives it its reputation: mostly monounsaturated, the type linked with heart health, plus vitamin E and (in extra-virgin oil) antioxidant plant compounds. That combination is a big part of why the Mediterranean diet is so well regarded.
It's still concentrated calories, so it's used to dress and cook rather than drench — but as fats go, few are as easy to recommend.
