If you think that olive oil can only be used to make salads, that's really a cooking novice. The high-quality olive oil can withstand Chinese-style cooking. It can be mixed, dipped, fried, fried, braised or stewed! In addition, the structure of extra virgin olive oil is more stable, which is very suitable for high-temperature cooking. Compared with other edible oils commonly used by Chinese people, olive oil contains more balanced nutrition and more diverse flavors, which can improve the taste of dishes.
Olive oil has always been called "liquid gold" by Europeans. It is rich in polyphenols and naturalVarious nutrients such as oxidants and vitamin E can not only effectively help us control the cholesterol content in the blood, but also effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the human body. Numerous scientific studies at home and abroad have verified its nutritional value. The PREDIMED trial shows that long-term use of the Mediterranean diet can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease by 30% compared with other dietary habits.
In recent years, people who pay more and more attention to healthy diet have also begun to choose Spanish extra virgin olive oil. According to Spanish customs statistics, in the first half of 2020, the sales of Spanish olive oil in China have reached 17,024 tons.
