Olive oil is a typical Mediterranean product coming out from pressing olive fruits into oil. It is used particularly in cooking, especially as a dressing for salads or boiled vegetables, but it is excellent also on roasted meat or simply on a slice of (toasted) bread.
The peculiar properties of olive oil are now well known: it helps to prevent the stagnation of cholesterol in the blood vessels reducing the problems bound to high blood pressure and cholesterlemy. Doctors recommend to reduce the use of butter and other vegetable fats just because these are told to improve heart and pressure diseases. On the contrary they suggest to improve the use of olive oil while cooking and especially to increase the use of row olive oil. This because of it healthy properties and why not? for its very special and typical Mediterranean taste.
