The olive oil is a staple ingredient in the kitchen. Mexicans cook in a thousand ways, so it serves us for roasting, sautéing, and preparing dressings. The best part is that Profeco has just announced which are the best olive oils, and here we tell you more about this list.  

Don’t forget that olive oil is much healthier than other types of fats and that’s why it should not be missing in your kitchen. According to UC Davis University, the consumption of this type of oil reduces bad cholesterol levels while raising good cholesterol levels.  

However, the benefits go much further. Olive oil contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. UC Davis University explains that these nutrients “could reduce plaque in the arteries” and even “protect your body from harmful chemicals that have been associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and heart problems.”  

As you can see, this oil is not only tastier and more versatile, but it is also much healthier. Moreover, it is an expensive product, so we explain what Profeco said and which olive oil is best for you.
