Cooking With Olive Oil Healthy
Olive oil ranges in colour from green to golden and also in flavour from
very mild to very strong. The differences in the types of oils depend
on the type of olive, the region in which they were cultivated and also
the time of harvesting. The olives must be picked at exactly the right
time otherwise the extracted oil could either be too bitter or too
rancid.
Although olive oil is a fat, and we are told to stay away from fats, as
they are bad for our health, in the case of olive oil, nothing could be
further from the truth. Not all fats are bad for us if consumed in
moderation, and the truth is that olive oil is actually very good for
us.
Olive oil has been used as a medicine and beauty treatment for hundreds
of years. Nowadays it is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, which
recent research has proven to be one of the healthiest diets in the
world.
