About Olive Oil

A healthy cooking oil whose main component is monounsaturated fat.

Health Benefits of Olive Oil

The model of monounsaturated fat

Olive oil is ~884 kcal per 100ml. Extra-virgin olive oil's fatty acids are mostly monounsaturated (oleic acid, ~73%), the main recommended dietary fat in the Mediterranean diet. It also carries polyphenols and other antioxidants that support cardiovascular health.

Heat vs raw uses

Extra-virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point (~160-190℃), best for dressing and low-heat cooking; refined olive oil has a higher one (~240℃), suitable for everyday stir-frying and moderate-heat cooking. Keep total cooking oil to ~20-25g (about 2 tablespoons) a day.
