Advantages: Multipurpose essential
Disadvantages: none
Olive Oil is made out of the olive frutit of the Olive Tree, botanical name Olea europaea. It seems that 95% of the Olive Trees are cultivated in the Mediterranean Region.
When you buy this Oil from the supermarket the purest and superior form comes with the name on the label as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, this way you are sure that is not modified in any shape or form and you get the best of the benefits out of it.
This oils can be used in salads, frying , making stews or dipping. Is also an amazing oil that can be used for cosmetic purposes, applied directly on the skin will keep the skin looking supple and young, can also be used as an carrier oil in Aromatherapy, for massage and face, it does not clog pores but some people with oily skin can find it a bit to heavy on the face. This can easily replace Johnsons Baby Oil making a far more superior healthy natural choice.
The high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant substances gives it a great health benefit and some studies have shown that can offer protection against heart diseases and controlling cholesterol levels.
Another good use is to rub some Olive Oil in the ends of the hair a day or at least a few hours before washing. This way hair will much more manageable and it can privet spilt end
All this goes without saying that this is my favourite oil in the world, the flavoured and it's benefits are second to none.
Summary: I always have some in the house
