Olive Oil

Olive oil is a natural, golden-green oil extracted from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea). Celebrated for its smooth texture and rich, slightly peppery flavor, it is a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine. Olive oil is available in several grades, including extra virgin, virgin, and refined, with extra virgin olive oil being the highest quality—cold-pressed and unrefined to retain maximum flavor and nutrients. Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, olive oil is known to support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and aid digestion. It’s ideal for drizzling over salads, dipping bread, sautéing, and even light frying.
