Daily EVOO Dosage for Longevity

How much per day? Keep it simple: aim for 1–2 tablespoons across meals. Here’s how to use extra virgin olive oil all day—without overthinking it.

Dosage Basics

Start with what’s realistic and consistent. Most people find that 1–2 tbsp/day fits naturally when spread across meals.

General wellness guidance only. If you have medical needs or follow a clinical diet, ask a qualified professional.

Small steps add up. Here are easy ways to reach your daily 1–2 tbsp without effort.

On eggs, yogurt bowls, or whole-grain toast. Add herbs or lemon for a quick boost.

Salads, veggies, legumes, and grains. Toss with vinegar or citrus for a 30-second dressing.

Sauté low–medium heat and finish plates with a fresh drizzle to lock in aroma.

How to measure: 1 tablespoon = 15 ml. A generous “spoon-sized” drizzle on a plate.
Pour control: use a spout or small carafe to avoid overpouring.
Storage: cool, dark place; close the cap tightly; prefer dark glass.
Use it—don’t save it: freshness matters; enjoy it daily.

Is 1–2 tablespoons per day too much?

For most people it fits well within a balanced diet. Adjust to your meals and appetite. If you have medical needs, ask a professional.

Can I use EVOO for cooking or only raw?

Use both: low–medium heat for cooking and a fresh drizzle to finish for aroma and taste.

Do I need “high-polyphenol” EVOO for daily use?

Fresh, authentic EVOO is the priority. If you enjoy bold flavor and peppery notes, high-polyphenol bottles are a great fit.

What’s the best way to avoid overpouring?

Use a pour spout or small carafe; measure occasionally to learn your “1 tbsp” drizzle.
