Extra virgin olive oil isn't just a delicious seasoning — it's one of the most thoroughly studied and well-documented parts of the Mediterranean diet, which researchers repeatedly link to good health.
Olive oil is one of the best sources of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that forms a central part of the Mediterranean diet, which numerous studies associate with good heart health.
Because extra virgin olive oil is extracted cold and mechanically — without heat or chemicals — it retains far more natural antioxidants and polyphenols than refined olive oil. These compounds help protect the body's cells from oxidative stress.
Olive oil pressed from early-harvested, green olives (like Legado) generally has a higher polyphenol content than oil from late-harvested, ripe olives. That's part of why it has a more intense, peppery flavour — and part of why quality oil often tastes "sharper".
Extra virgin olive oil naturally contributes vitamin E (an antioxidant) and vitamin K, which among other things plays a role in blood clotting.
To get the most out of olive oil's natural flavour and antioxidant content, it's best used raw — drizzled over food, in dressings, or for dipping good bread. Save it to finish a dish, rather than frying at high heat.
Olive oil is not a medicine and should be seen as part of a varied, healthy diet — not a substitute for professional dietary or health advice.
