Extra-virgin olive oil vs. expeller-pressed canola oil
These oils are the least refined of their kind.
To make extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), manufacturers grind and mechanically press olives, without using any heat. Similarly, expeller-pressed canola oil is made by mechanically pressing rapeseed, without the use of heat or chemical solvents.
🟢 The case for extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Olive oil is richer in heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) than almost any other cooking oil.
In addition, unlike the more refined “light” olive oil, EVOO maintains most of the olive fruit’s original polyphenols. These plant-based substances help to combat inflammation and protect cells from damage.
