We treasure extra-virgin olive oil for its nutritional and salutary virtues. Researchers reports show that extra-virgin olive oil is the most digestible of the edible fats: it helps to assimilate vitamins A, D and K; it contains so-called essential acids that cannot be produced by our own bodies; it slows down the aging process; and it helps bile, liver and intestinal functions. The olive oil is also valued for its culinary virtues and organoleptic properties as well: flavour (sapor), bouquet (aroma), and colour (color).<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Climate, soil, variety of olive tree (cultivar) and time of olive harvest account for the different organoleptic properties of different olive oils. Certain extra-virgin olive oils are blends of varieties of olives; other olive oils are made from one cultivar (olive tree variety). The European Community gives the following parameters:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Extra-virgin olive oil:<\/b>\u00a0has perfect taste and its the highest quality olive oil; it has a minimum organoleptic rating of 6,5 out of 10, low acidity (1% or less), and is untreated.<\/li>\n<li><b>Olive oil:<\/b> has a minimum organoleptic rating of 5,5, a maximum of 2% acidity and is untreated.<\/li>\n<li>A produ\u00e7\u00e3o de todos os outros azeites envolve tratamentos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Extra-virgin olive oil is produced in almost all regions of Greece. The leading producers are <b>Crete island, the Peloponnese, Mytilene island, and Chios island<\/b>. In Italy, Tuscany produces an assortment of extra virgin oils and olive oils that many do not resemble each other. In Umbria (Italy), it is so widely produced that it would be hard to imagine the landscape without the abundance of olive trees. Apulia is home to an impressive one-third of Italy&#8217;s olive trees. The top location is Puglia in south Italy.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The price of extra-virgin olive oil varies greatly. Two factors are influential: where the olives are grown and which harvesting methods are implemented. Certain locations yield more bountiful harvests; consequently their olive oil is sold for less. Olive trees planted near the sea can produce up to 20 times more fruit than those planted inland, in hilly areas like Tuscany. It is in these land-locked areas that the olive trees&#8217; habitat is pushed to the extreme; if the conditions were just a little more severe, the olive trees would not survive. Extra-virgin oils produced from these trees have higher organoleptic scores.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<h2>Olive Oil Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:html --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the ingredients in pure olive oil?\u00a0 <\/strong>The chief active components of olive oil include oleic acid, phenolic constituents, and squalene.<\/p>\n<p>Olive oil consists mainly of oleic acid (up to 83%), with smaller amounts of other fatty acids including linoleic acid (up to 21%) and palmitic acid (up to 20%). Approximately, 98%\u201399% of EVOO &#8211; Extra Virgin Olive Oil (the saponifiable fraction) is made up of triglycerides in the form of mostly MUFAs (oleic acid), considerable amounts of polyunsaturated fats (linoleic and \u03b1-linolenic), and small amounts of saturated fats (palmitic by 7,5%\u201320% and stearic acid by 0,5%\u20135%).<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its status as a spotlight food in the Mediterranean Diet (and the <b>Greek \/ Cretan Diet <\/b>in particular), and thanks to extensive research on its unique phytonutrient composition, olive oil has become a legendary culinary oil with very difficult-to-match health benefits by other edible oils. Among its extensive list of phytonutrients, no single category of nutrients of olive oil is more important than its <b>polifen\u00f3is<\/b>. The polyphenol content of this delicious oil is truly amazing!<\/p>\n<p>Olive oil is very high in <b>monounsaturated fats<\/b> and contains a modest amount of vitamins E and K. Extra virgin olive oil is also loaded with antioxidants, some of which have powerful health benefits. The olive fruit and compression-extracted olive oil have a wide range of therapeutic beside the culinary applications in human nutrition.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The list below shows some of the key polyphenols found in olive oil, organized by their chemical category:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:table --><\/p>\n<figure>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">Fen\u00f3is simples<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">Antocianidinas<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">tirosol<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">cianidinas<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">hidroxitirosol<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">peonidinas<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">Terpenos<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">Flavon\u00f3is<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">oleuropein<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">quercetina<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">ligstros\u00eddeo<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">kaempferol<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">Flavonas<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">Glicos\u00eddeos flavonoides<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">apigenina<\/a><\/td>\n<td>&#8211; rutin<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">luteolina<\/a><\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">Lignanas<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">\u00c1cidos hidroxicin\u00e2micos<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">pinoresinol<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">\u00e1cido cafeico<\/a><\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">\u00c1cidos hidroxibenzoicos<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">\u00e1cido cin\u00e2mico<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">\u00e1cido van\u00edlico<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">\u00e1cido fer\u00falico<\/a><\/td>\n<td>&#8211; syringic acid<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16512956\">\u00e1cido cum\u00e1rico<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<figcaption>Olive Oil Ingredients<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:table --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"25px\"} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:spacer --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:html --><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Most of the polyphenols in this list have been shown to function both as <strong>antioxidantes<\/strong> and also as <strong>anti-inflammatory<\/strong> nutrients in the body.
