For thousands of years, olive oil has been an essential edible oil for residents of Mediterranean countries, and Crete is even praised as an "island floating on olive oil" by tourists. Olive oil in western countries, the main way to eat it is cold salad, or bread dipped in olive oil for breakfast, or barbecue to eat olive oil. However, people in China don't like western food, so there is a saying that drinking olive oil is actually a unique way to eat olive oil in China. Both China's drinking oil and western food usage have one thing in common, that is, eating olive oil without heating, which is what we call raw food. Eating raw is actually the best way to eat olive oil, because the vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients of olive oil will not be destroyed by high temperature and will be preserved intact when eaten.

However, not all olive oil can be eaten raw. Refined olive oil, pomace, so-called pure olive oil, cooking olive oil, olive sunflower seed oil (not olive oil at all) and so on can not be eaten raw. Even if heated, the nutritional components of these olive oils are limited. You must choose extra virgin olive oil (extra virgin olive oil) for raw food, and choose high-quality extra virgin olive oil according to the method of identification and purchase.

Now many olive oil formulas are listed in the promotional materials and websites of various olive oil companies. In fact, they are not practical at all, and they are basically eye-catching. According to our investigation, few consumers in China eat olive oil according to these western recipes. Based on more than one year's working experience and communication with many domestic consumers, we believe that the following edible methods of olive oil can be accepted by domestic consumers without destroying the nutritional components of olive oil:

1 If you are not used to drinking oil, you can add juice, because olive oil itself is olive oil juice.

Finish the dishes according to China's method (especially some dishes that don't absorb oil), put them on a plate, and then pour olive oil on them. This is not only healthy, but also makes the food smoother and mellow.

Consumers who like pasta can mix olive oil with fillings such as jiaozi and Chaos. Steamed or boiled jiaozi or chaos tastes smooth and fruity.

4 A proper amount of olive oil can be added to the seasoning of hot pot. After the food is taken out of the hot pot, it is mixed with the seasoning added with olive oil, and then it is imported, and the taste is delicate and smooth.

5 fried rice with eggs is about to be topped with olive oil before it comes out of the pot, and the fruit is fragrant.
