Even so, not all olive oils are created with the same quality. So, how to choose the best-quality olive oil. According to Nicholas Coleman, chief olive oil specialist at Eataly in New York City, fresh olive oil must be maintained in order to benefit their health.


"Even the best manufacturers in the world said that if the oil is too long, you will not get the health benefits of the olive oil," says Coleman as reported by FoxNews.

Coleman explains choose olive oil as someone choosing wine. That is, he must consider the packaging, types of olives in it, and where it comes from.

"When you taste the olive oil, finished feel you will probably feel the spicy taste in the throat. Alternatively, something that tickles," said Coleman.

"And what is causing it is oleocanthal, an antioxidant in oil. And that nourish the body," he added.

Extra virgin olive oil from Tuscany, Sicily and Puglia Italy has the most antioxidants. However, olive oil is sold at stalls near the house may also be of good quality, says Coleman.

Meanwhile, oil color and the color of the bottle does not affect health benefits. To get a good olive oil, Coleman suggested choose packaged glass bottles or cans, so the oil does not undergo oxidation and reduction in quality.

And when someone is cooking with olive oil newly purchased, be sure to warm slowly to the antioxidants it can be maintained.
