The Truth About Olive Oil: Not All Bottles Are Created Equal

Olive oil is a staple in kitchens around the world, renowned for its versatility and health benefits. However, not all olive oils are created equal, and understanding the differences between the various types can help you choose the best one for your health and your culinary needs. At Fragata, we provide a variety of olive oils that meet the highest standards of quality and flavor. Let’s explore the different types of Fragata Olive Oils and their unique benefits.

1. Fragata Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Premium Quality from Spain

Fragata Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the highest quality olive oil available. It is made from the first cold press of handpicked olives, with no chemicals or heat used in the extraction process. This preserves its natural flavor and nutrients, making it the best choice for a wide range of culinary applications.

Benefits of Fragata Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

• Rich in Antioxidants: EVOO is full of polyphenols, which help fight inflammation and protect against heart disease.
  
  

• Supports Heart Health: The monounsaturated fats in EVOO can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and improve blood vessel function.
  
  

• Anti-inflammatory: The natural compounds in EVOO have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which can help prevent chronic diseases.
  
  

• High in Healthy Fats: The oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for overall health, including supporting healthy cholesterol levels and better blood sugar regulation.
  

Usage: This oil is perfect for salad dressings, drizzling over vegetables, and adding a rich, fruity flavor to pasta, soups, and grilled dishes. It can be used in 50-60% of your cooking for daily meals, offering maximum flavor and health benefits.

2. Fragata Naturally Pure Olive Oil – Light and Versatile for Every Kitchen

Fragata Naturally Pure Olive Oil is a refined olive oil that is light in flavor and versatile in its uses. Made from a combination of cold-pressed and refined olives, this oil retains some of the goodness of olive oil but is more neutral, making it a great option for all-purpose cooking.

Benefits of Fragata Naturally Pure Olive Oil:

• Milder Taste: The flavor is lighter and less intense, making it suitable for cooking where you don’t want the oil’s flavor to dominate.
  
  

• Good for High-Heat Cooking: This olive oil has a higher smoke point, which makes it ideal for frying, grilling, and sautéing.
  
  

• Rich in Healthy Fats: Like all olive oils, it contains monounsaturated fats, which support heart health.
  

Usage: This olive oil is perfect for baking, frying, and cooking at higher temperatures. It can be used in 30-40% of your cooking to complement dishes where the flavor of olive oil isn’t the main focus but you still want the health benefits of the oil.

3. Fragata Pomace Olive Oil – Light, Versatile, and Naturally Nutritious

Fragata Pomace Olive Oil is made from the pulp, skins, and pits of the olive, which are left over after the first press. It is refined and then blended with virgin olive oil to create a more affordable and neutral-flavored oil. This oil is perfect for high-heat cooking and is commonly used in commercial kitchens.

Benefits of Fragata Pomace Olive Oil:

• Ideal for High-Heat Cooking: With a higher smoke point, Fragata Pomace Olive Oil is ideal for deep frying, sautéing, and grilling, where other oils may burn.
  
  

• Versatile and Light Flavor: The neutral taste makes it perfect for use in a wide range of recipes without overwhelming the other ingredients.
  
  

• Affordable and Nutritious: While more affordable than Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fragata Pomace Olive Oil still contains essential nutrients and antioxidants, making it a good choice for everyday cooking.
  

Usage: This oil is often used in 10-20% of cooking in commercial kitchens or for home cooking where high-heat methods are required. It’s great for frying, roasting, and grilling.
