What Makes Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil So Special?
Extra virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest oils you can eat. Sadly, most of the claimed olive oils you find on supermarket shelves are fake. So how do you know which ones to buy? In this video, I visit an Australian plus an Italian olive oil farm to get some insight into what makes good olive oil and what to look for when buying some. Plus to learn how this liquid gold, "first cold press virgin oil" is made from start to finish.
Olive oil is a type of vegetable oil that is extracted from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. It has been used for centuries in cooking and as a key ingredient in cosmetics and soaps. Olive oil is made up of different types of fatty acids, including oleic acid, which is responsible for its healthy properties. Olive oil contains high levels of monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition, olive oil is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the body against cell damage.
The process of cold pressing olives helps to preserve these healthy compounds. As a result, extra virgin olive oil is considered to be the highest quality olive oil available. It has a fruity taste and a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is also more expensive than other types of olive oil but worth every cent.
