The best type of olive oil is extra virgin olive oil, which is pure in taste and smell. Truly extra virgin olive oil has a distinct taste. Extra virgin olive oil is high in phenolic antioxidants and major anti-inflammatory antioxidants such as oleocanthal. Extra virgin olive oil also contains oleuropein, which protects LDL cholesterol from oxidizing.*
Try cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil as a healthy alternative to butter. You can use it on potatoes, grains, vegetables, and bread. You can also experiment with organic coconut oil which is another healthy alternative to butter.
