Oil is Well With Olive Oil - Healthy Oils

High in monounsaturated fats, olive oil may assist in lowering total cholesterol, high blood pressure and glucose levels.

Different Olive Oil Varieties

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Superior oil from the first pressing of the olives. Choose oil lowest in acidity.

Olive Oil - A mix of blended oils spiked with 5% - 25% of virgin olive oil, yet still high in monounsaturated fats.

Olive-Pomace Oil - After the olives have been pressed, Olive-Pomace Oil is extracted from the pomace through use of solvents.

Light Versions of Olive Oil - Light versions contain the same amount of calories and fat as other versions of olive oil; light simply refers to the coloring of the oil, as well as the 'light' taste.
