I Love Olive Oil, How About You?

There are lots of good reasons to use olive oil in cooking. Extra-virgin is full of monounsaturated fat which promotes ‘good’ cholesterol and antioxidants that research shows helps to lower blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease. The color of the oil does not indicate the quality it simply denotes the ripeness and variety of the olives used to make it.
When buying olive oil choose a dark glass bottle or metal can as light exposure causes oil to go rancid and lose its healthy properties.
