But with different types and qualities, choosing the right one can be confusing. In this comprehensive guide, we'll answer some of the most common questions about olive oil and give you everything you need to know to enjoy and benefit from this liquid gold.

1. What is the difference between extra virgin olive oil and regular olive oil

Extra virgin olive oil and regular olive oil are two of the most common types of olive oil on the market, but they differ significantly in taste, quality and uses. Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality and is made from the first pressing of olives, resulting in a fruity taste and low acidity. Ordinary olive oil, on the other hand, is a mixture of refined olive oil and virgin olive oil, which gives a more neutral taste and higher acidity.

2. Is extra virgin olive oil healthy?

Yes, extra virgin olive oil is known for its health benefits due to its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants such as vitamin E and polyphenols. These nutrients can help lower bad cholesterol levels, protect against heart disease and reduce the risk of certain cancers.

3. How can I use olive oil in cooking?

Olive oil is a versatile ingredient that can be used for frying, sauteing, dressing, baking and even marinating meat and vegetables. Try replacing butter or other oils with our extra virgin olive oil in your recipes to add a rich and fruity flavor to your dishes.

4. How do I store olive oil correctly?

To preserve the freshness and flavor of the olive oil, it is recommended to store it away from light and heat, preferably in a dark glass bottle or a tightly sealed container. Keep the oil away from air and oxygen to prevent oxidation and use our Extra virgin olive oil within one year of opening to achieve the best taste.

Cold-pressed olive oil is produced by pressing olives at low temperatures, which preserves the oil's natural flavor and nutrients.
