Olive oil is cold pressed from olive fruit, which retains the nutrients and antioxidants in olive fruit. Compared with other vegetable oils, olive oil has a higher content of monounsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid. In addition, olive oil is rich in natural antioxidants, such as olive polyphenols and squalene.

Olive oil can be used not only for cooking, but also for making salads, sauces and pickles. Because of its unique taste and aroma, olive oil plays an important role in many Mediterranean diets. People in the Mediterranean often use olive oil to cook food, make bread and cakes. Besides being eaten directly, olive oil can also be used for skin care and hair care. It is rich in natural antioxidants and vitamin E, which can help keep skin and hair healthy.

Olive oil storage method

1, avoid direct sunlight: sunlight will destroy vitamin E and other nutrients in olive oil, so olive oil should be kept in a cool and dark place.

2. Avoid high temperature: high temperature will lead to deterioration and loss of nutritional value of olive oil, so olive oil should be kept in a stable temperature place away from heat sources.

3. Use a sealed container: Using a sealed container can prevent air and moisture from entering olive oil and maintain its freshness and quality. It is recommended to choose opaque glass bottles or stainless steel containers.

4. Pay attention to the shelf life: the shelf life of olive oil generally ranges from 18 months to 2 years. Expired olive oil may produce odor and harmful substances, so you should pay attention to check the shelf life and eat or dispose of it in time.
