What are the healthiest olive oils ?
Virgin olive oil
Virgin olive oil is renowned for being particularly healthy, thanks to its high omega-9 content. The omega-9 present in olive oil helps prevent diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A study carried out by the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale in Bordeaux, France, has explored the numerous advantages of incorporating virgin olive oil into one’s diet.
Conclusions : The research closely monitored the health of 7625 French people over the age of 65. The highest consumers of virgin olive oil reduce their lifetime risk of suffering a heart attack by around 40%. Olive oil has a positive influence on the regulation of bad cholesterol.
Extra virgin olive oil
The more virgin the oil, the healthier and more beneficial it is. Extra virgin olive oil is the most beneficial olive oil. As well as being elegant and tasty, it’s also responsible for our bodies. These benefits are due in particular to the extra-virgin oil production method, which has reserved most of the antioxidants essential for protecting plants from insects and climatic conditions.
What are antioxidants ?
Nowadays, our external environment (UV rays, tobacco, alcohol, stress, poor diet…) favors the production of cells called free radials which, when sufficiently present in our body, attack our own cells to modify their genetic code. This is how degenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, etc.) and cardiovascular diseases develop, as well as various cancers, cataracts, arthritis and premature aging of the skin…
Good to know :
The more antioxidants it contains, the stronger the bitterness. The newer the oil, the better its health benefits.
Other selection criteria for choosing quality olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil is the most natural, thanks to a responsible processing method. Otherfactors to consider include the composition of the soil in which the olive trees are planted, the meteorology that affects the quality of a harvest, and the degree of ripeness of the fruit picked.
All these elements combine to create a particular taste, known as Ardence. That herbaceous, spicy, peppery sensation that lingers in the throat after tasting olive oil.
Good to know :
Who said the clothes make the man ? If ever there was a saying to apply to olive oil, it’s this one. The color of the oil says nothing about its quality. Do not select an oil according to its color.
What’s more, if the packaging leaves no room for light to enter, the oil will be all the better for it. That’s why you can find small metal cans in our online store.
Enfin, de nombreux consommateurs ont la fâcheuse tendance à se fier au degré d’acidité de l’huile d’olive. Big mistake ! This is a biochemical measure of quality, not taste. The higher the acidity, the worse the quality of the oil !
