There is so much compelling research to suggest that eating extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) each day is great for overall health!
I use it everyday in my cooking, whether that is for hot or cold dishes.
I love it so much that this year I sourced some incredible extra virgin olive oils from Fresh From Frantoi. They have kindly given me (and you) a €10 discount to use when buying their six high quality oils, these 6 bottles are all very high in beneficial polyphenols. The €10 off code is 'Emma2021' (until 1st December only). Click here for the link. Plus if you buy their oils you are invited to join Elizabeth from Fresh From Frantoi and myself for a private online EVOO tasting and discussion. The event is on the 13th January at 7pm (UK time).
If you would like to see Elizabeth and I talking about EVOO have a look at our instagram live here.
Below is a round up of some of the evidence, but first let me dispel a myth - it is quite safe to cook with extra virgin olive oil. In a 2018 study on the stability of oils when exposed to cooking at high temperatures, the extra virgin olive oil was found to be the most stable. The extra virgin olive oil could safely withstand heat temperatures up to 210˚C. Here’s the reference.
Here’s an article written by Dr Joanna Macmillan on the safety of cooking with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In the article she summarises that research shows cooking with extra virgin olive oil is quite safe up to 210ºC, and in fact cooking or heating Australian extra virgin olive oil up to 240ºC is safe too!
‘The Mediterranean peoples have reduced risks of bowel, breast and prostate cancer, as well as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.’ Dr Simon Poole.
Quite a claim from Dr Poole (watch my instagram live with him here) - Let’s begin with a round up of some studies.
