Extra Virgin Olive Oil: More Nutrients and Better Flavour than Regular Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is far superior to regular olive oil, delivering valuable plant compounds, polyphenols and healthy monounsaturated fats. It is best used raw – in salads, dips and as a finishing drizzle – to preserve its flavour and health benefits. A good extra virgin oil should have a distinctly fruity, slightly bitter and peppery taste.
