Olive Cooking Oil
Olive oil” is how we refer to the oil obtained from the fruit of olive trees. People have been eating olive oil for thousands of years and it is now more popular than ever, thanks to its many proven health benefits and its culinary usefulness.
When it comes to cooking, olive oil gets some mixed reviews.
On the one hand, it’s a known fact that olive oil is full of healthy, monounsaturated fats, which help reduce bad cholesterol and lower risk of heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association.
On the other hand, there’s a “smoke point,” or the temperature at which the oil starts to break down, lose its health benefits and produce chemicals that aren’t all that good for you. And olive oil has a relatively low smoke point — 320°F for extra virgin and 420°F for virgin.
