Myth: Olive Oil Should Be Stored in the Refrigerator
Throughout the years, you probably have heard chefs and magazines
discussing the health benefits of olive oil. While you continue to hear about
these benefits, you may be a bit unsure about what exactly these health
benefits are or even how olive oil is made. This article will analyze the
myths and facts regarding olive oil and try to clear up any
misunderstandings about this natural oil.
What Is Olive Oil?
Olive oil is actually a fruit juice derived from pressing or mashing the olive.
This oil is well known for its distinct aroma and flavor. Olive oil is versatile
and can be used in many different cooking manners, including sautéing, stir
frying, in marinades, or simply used as a dip for bread.
Myth: All Olive Oils Are the Same
Fact: Olive oil comes in virgin, extra virgin, pure and light versions. Virgin
means that no chemicals were used in the process of extracting the oil from
the fruit. Extra virgin means that the olive oil has undergone several tests
to confirm its taste and to verify that it is free of defects. Light olive oil is
not pure virgin olive oil. This form is a blend of pomace olive oil, which is
olive oil that is extracted from the fruit using heat and chemicals, and virgin
olive oil.
Myth: Olives Are a Fruit
Fact: Despite what your initial thoughts may have been, this statement
actually is true. Olives are considered fruits. In their natural form, olives are
very bitter and nearly inedible. To get the amazing taste and flavor, olives
are cured in brine or oil.
Myth: You Cannot Use Olive Oil to Deep-Fry Foods
Fact: Despite olive oils lower fat content compared to other oils and
therefore, low smoke point, olive oil is an excellent option for deep-frying.
While deep-frying with olive oil would be more expensive than with other
oils, it is possible and would add excellent flavor to your foods.

Myth: Olive Oil Is a Healthier Option than Butter
Fact: This statement is true. Olive oil contains only 33% saturated fat while
butter is composed of 66% saturated fat. Olive oil has no cholesterol, while
a serving of butter has 33mg of cholesterol.
Myth: All Oils Are Fattening, Including Olive Oil
Fact: Extra virgin olive oil contains some of the highest amounts of
monounsaturated fats compared to other oils. These fats actually help
lower a person’s total cholesterol level and LDL cholesterol level, or bad
cholesterol. When used in moderation, olive oil provides more health
benefits than negative health issues.
Myth: Olive Oil Should Be Stored in the Refrigerator
Fact: Olive oil should not be stored in the refrigerator. When olive oil is
chilled, it becomes cloudy and can even solidify and crystallize. While this
does not harm the oil, it may affect the texture and consistency. Olive oil is
perfectly safe stored at room temperature for at least two years. It is
recommended to store olive oil in a cool, dark location. Olive oil reaches its
peak flavor in its first two months.

live oil has become a favourite choice
Olive oil has become a favourite choice among many cooks for its versatility
and distinct taste. If you ever watch (or have even heard of) the popular TV
cook Rachael Ray, you probably know that she is famous for using olive oil
in most of her recipes. She has become so synonymous with the oil that she
helped make it a popular fad, launched the abbreviation "EVOO" (for "extra

virgin olive oil") into common kitchen parlance and even markets her own
brand of it.
But the olive oil craze has also grown as studies continue to reveal its
numerous health benefits. When researchers started looking into why
people in the Mediterranean region are generally healthier and have a
longer life expectancy than others, they found that this was largely a result
of their healthy diet. And they believe that diet is so healthy because of
their heavy consumption of olive oil.
As you might expect, this is because olive oil is nutritious in and of itself.
And we'll be talking about what researchers believe is in olive oil that
makes it so healthy for us.
However, it's important to keep in mind that olive oil is a healthy choice not
only for what it is, but also for what it is not. Namely, while olive oil is
actually good for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, many of its
cooking substitutes are decidedly bad for cholesterol. This includes butter
or lard or anything that is partially hydrogenated.
What's fascinating is that people in the Mediterranean region have been
reaping the benefits of olive oil for millennia, without knowing all the
scientific nutrition information we know today. Olive oil was highly valued
in ancient Mediterranean cultures for use in food, but also as lamp fuel and
other medicinal uses. There were legends about the origin of the olive tree,
and it came to represent such things as peace and fertility. We get our
English word "oil" from the Romans ("oleum"), who derived it from their
word for olive ("oliva").
Although these days we can extract oil from olives with industrial
machines, ancient people had to crush olives by foot or stone, or eventually
with a mule-powered crushing mill. Crushed olives turn into paste, which
they divided into sections and placed on discs. These discs were piled into
stacks, which were squeezed together to extract the oil.
Up next, we'll take a look at exactly which nutrients you'll find in a bottle of
olive oil.
