Olive oil is the top source of monounsaturated fat,
and it is a prime component of the Mediterranean Diet.
Olive oil preserves the taste, aroma, vitamins and properties
of the olive fruit. It is also the only vegetable oil
that can be consumed as it is - freshly pressed from
the fruit.
The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due
to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids
and its high content of antioxidative substances. Studies
have shown that olive oil offers protection against
heart disease by controlling LDL cholesterol levels
while raising the beneficial HDL levels.
Studies have shown that people who consumed 25 milliliters
(mL) - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily
for 1 week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol
and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly
phenols, in the blood.
But while all types of olive oil are sources of monounsaturated
fat, extra virgin olive oil, from the first pressing
of the olives, contains higher levels of antioxidants,
particularly vitamin E and phenols, because it is less
processed.
