Extremely versatile in the kitchen, extra virgin olive oil is used in the preparation of a plethora of different dishes (pasta, rice, main courses, side dishes). 

The FDA says eating 2 tablespoons of olive oil a day may reduce the risk of heart disease, due to its monounsaturated fat content. Extra virgin olive oil also contains polyphenols which act as antioxidants, reducing the oxidative stress throughout your body.
