    UNIQUE COMPONENTS OF MEDITERERRANEAN CUISINE

    OLIVE OIL

    Olive oil is imperative in Mediterranean cookery, especially when it comes to preparing


    vegetables. Rich in monounsaturated fat, and many believe its wide use throughout the
    Mediterranean explains much of that region's low heart disease rates. Since the Mediterranean
    region has so many olive trees, it makes sense that the people there consume the highest
    amounts of olive oil when compared to every other country. Olive trees produce a bitter fruit
    that is ideal for making the healthiest and most delicious olive oils for cooking.  Olive oil works
    great as an added dressing in all kinds of foods, adding a bold and distinct flavor to everything
    from appetizers and salads to pasta and other main dishes.
