Why Olive Oil is Popular

The Mediterranean Diet has attracted attention with olive oil as the key ingredient. The popularity of olive oil has been helped by its association with Mediterranean cooking and the health claims for cutting the risk of a heart attack linked with this way of life,

Many people now have olive in their kitchen. It might be bad quality, but they have it. They are aware of the health benefits. When most people go abroad they taste olive oil in Mediterranean countries and enjoy it.

Olive oil is versatile for cooking and it can be delicious. It is a good choice for sauteing and it has flavor which means it adds taste to salad dressings or can be drizzled on a bowl of soup or a platter of fresh mozzarella, or used to finish cooked and raw vegetables.

We found these topics particularly interesting how popular olive oil has become in The United States:

Olive oil also works great to fight acne. Apply it before you go to bed by rubbing it back and forth into the skin. It seems like it would just make it worse but trust me it works wonders.
