Different kinds of olive oils and how to use them
- Extra virgin olive oil is obtained through the initial cold pressing of olives, without applying heat or chemical treatments during its production.
- This method preserves natural flavors, antioxidants, and vitamins that are lost in more processed olive oils like light olive oil.
- Light olive oil is produced from subsequent extractions of olives and is subjected to heating and chemical processing that diminishes its flavor and nutritional content, but enhances its adaptability for various culinary uses.
- Infused olive oils are created by combining premium extra virgin olive oil with herbs, spices, or other flavorings, gently warming the mixture to extract and blend the aromatic essences, which can enhance dishes such as salads and pasta.
- Understanding the differences among olive oils helps cooks use them more intentionally to improve flavor and nutrition in everyday meals.
