Cooking: Sauté vegetables, roast fish, or bake with a gentle fruity flavor.
Finishing: Add a drizzle over soups, pasta, or grilled meats for freshness.
Pairing: Dip with bread, or balance cheeses and antipasti.

Heart health and nutrition benefits of extra virgin olive oil

Nutrition & Health Benefits of Olive Oil

Olive oil is more than flavor—it’s also a source of nutrients that support a balanced diet. It delivers mainly monounsaturated fats and natural antioxidants, making it a smart swap for saturated fats in everyday cooking. According to Harvard Health, replacing saturated fats with unsaturated ones helps promote heart-healthy eating patterns.

  • Healthy fats: Mainly monounsaturated, supporting balanced nutrition.
  • Vitamins: Source of vitamin E and other antioxidants.
  • Polyphenols: Natural compounds that protect oil freshness and add peppery flavor.
  • Freshness: Harvest date matters—enjoy within 12–18 months for peak quality.
