The world of olive oil can be a complex one, with multiple types available and each one boasting a unique taste and set of health benefits. But why the differences? Well, it all comes down to the way in which the oil is made. For example, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil like Morocco Gold is made by crushing the olives and extracting the oil without the use of heat or chemicals.
This process yields a robust, fruity flavor and a high concentration of antioxidants. On the other hand, other types of olive oil may undergo a refining process that strips away some of the natural flavors and health benefits. Ultimately, it’s up to the consumer to decide which type of olive oil is best for their needs and preferences.
It’s important to understand the different types of olive oil and choose the right one for your needs. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the different types of olive oil and which ones are best for cooking, in salads, and other uses. We’ll also provide tips on how to select the best quality olive oil.
