Olive oil
Olive oil is a natural oil extracted from the fruit of the olive tree. It is a plant-based ingredient that has been used in cooking for centuries. Olive oil is popular for its versatility and health benefits, making it a common choice in many kitchens.
To make olive oil, ripe olives are harvested and crushed to extract the oil. The process involves pressing the olives to release the liquid, which is then separated from the pulp and water. This extraction method retains the natural flavours and nutrients of the olives, resulting in the distinct taste and aroma of olive oil.
Olive oil is a staple in many cuisines worldwide and is often used in salad dressings, marinades, and for cooking a variety of dishes. It is praised for its rich flavour profile and health-promoting properties, such as being high in monounsaturated fats. You can find olive oil listed as an ingredient in dishes like pasta, roast vegetables, and homemade dips.
