Olive Oil
Olive oil is a premium vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea). It is considered one of the healthiest oils, prized for its rich taste and numerous health benefits. Olive oil has a distinctive flavor that varies from mild to robust depending on the type and processing method. Known for its high content of monounsaturated fats, especially oleic acid, it is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and widely used in cooking, dressings, and as a finishing oil.
