Benefits of Greek Olive Oil

​

• The basic ingredient for cooking in Greek cuisine is olive oil, where it may be soy sauce for Chinese or Worcestershire sauce for the English. Without it there could be no Greek cuisine as we know it. 

• In the English-speaking world, a recipe for a Greek dish typically calls for two tablespoons of oil. That same recipe in a Greek household calls for half a cup!

• ​Numerous studies have indicated that a Mediterranean diet low in saturated fats but rich in monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, in addition to whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, helps prevent heart disease and even cancer.
