Olive oil is widely regarded as one of the healthiest oils available, but there are still many myths surrounding it. In this article, we\u2019ll debunk some of the most common misconceptions and shed light on the truths about olive oil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 1: Olive oil is unhealthy for cooking<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people believe that olive oil isn\u2019t suitable for high-heat cooking because it can turn rancid. In reality, extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> has a high smoke point (around 190\u2013220\u00b0C\/375\u2013430\u00b0F), making it safe for cooking at medium to high temperatures. It\u2019s an excellent choice for saut\u00e9ing, grilling, and roasting. Dangerous olive oils as usually not \u201creal olive oils\u201d but mixed ones with other ingredients \u2013 when buying olive oil make sure to read the ingredients list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 2: All olive oils are the same<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all olive oils are created equal. Chiavalon extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> is produced using cold-pressing methods that retain its natural flavors and health benefits. The oil is processed at temperatures ranging from 19-21\u00b0C, utilizing the cutting-edge MORi-TEM<\/a> technology for olive oil extraction, ensuring optimal quality and flavor preservation. Regular olive oil, on the other hand, may undergo refining processes that strip away nutrients and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 3: Olive oil is only for Mediterranean dishes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While olive oil is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, it\u2019s incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you\u2019re baking, making salad dressings, or even using it in desserts, extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> adds a rich depth of flavor to any dish. We use it in every dish for any type of cuisine \u2013 from eggs, pasta, meat to cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Myth 4: Olive oil can be stored anywhere<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper storage is crucial for preserving the quality of olive oil. Storing olive oil in a cool, dark place and sealing it tightly ensures that it retains its freshness and flavor for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 5: Extra virgin olive oil has to be green<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is not the whole truth. Olive oil is green when it\u2019s recently produced. During the year colour gets more golden, that\u2019s why we call it liquid gold. Proof of this is that at competitions, judges use blue glasses for tasting to avoid being influenced by the color. The color of olive oil absolutely tells nothing about its quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil is a fantastic and versatile ingredient, but it\u2019s important to separate fact from fiction. By understanding the truth behind these myths, you can choose the right olive oil in the store, create amazing dishes with it,  and enjoy its many benefits in your daily life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
