One of the Mediterranean´s diet main ingredients, extra virgin olive oil provides a special flavor and aroma to each dish while adding no cholesterol and almost no saturated fat. It has omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) which may help to lower total blood cholesterol and "bad cholesterol" (LDL) while increasing "good cholesterol" (HDL), therefore contributing to decreasing the risk of heart disease and other chronic diseases. Moreover, it has vitamin E which is known to have antioxidant properties by protecting cells from free radicals. This vitamin is also involved in the immune function and other metabolic processes. That the oil is Virgin means that it has undergone less industrial processing, it is more natural. Therefore all its nutritional and organoleptic properties remain intact for your body to take advantage off!!
