| In
many countries, olive oil was displaced for a time
as the favored cooking oil by industrially produced, flavorless
and inexpensive vegetables oils. However, extra virgin
olive oil is by far the best when it comes to taste and
fragrance. Olive oil is also very easy to digest. |
Extra
virgin olive oil is a completely natural product, high in
monounsaturated fat-- the "good fat" --
and is a source of antioxidants, making it a healthier alternative
to butter, both as a condiment and in cooking. |
Nutritionists
the world over are now recommending that consumers replace
the other less healthy fats in their diets with extra virgin
olive oil as part of a diet designed to help people live
healthier lives. |
Other
vegetable oils and margarine are often highly processed
foods that can't compare to the goodness of extra virgin
olive oil. |
