A Taste of Olive Oil

Dec. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Extra virgin olive oil is the highest grade of olive oil with a nearly perfect flavor, color and aroma that has a maximum acidity, of no more than 1%.  It is also the most expensive of all olive oils, because optimal conditions for production, harvesting, processing and storage are rarely present and the production yield is low compared to oils.

Approximately, 98% of the world’s olive oil comes from the Mediterranean region, which has a history of olive tree cultivation that dates back nearly 6,000 years. Joyofkosher.com, the world's largest Jewish food community, explains how to cook with olive oil, hexplores the many health benefits and provides valuable tasting tips in an insightful new article.
