There are many types of Olive Oil on the market so how do you know which one to use?

The Olive oil we buy in the market typically does not have the benefits most people think it does, even in expensive extra virgin oil. Many bloggers who write olive oil reviews forget about this all important benefit when reviewing oil. The reason is an important beneficial ingredient called “phenol”. This key ingredient is removed during processing. It is phenol which gives us the benefit we all think olive oil has. The only time it’s intact is when olives are freshly pressed. Freshly pressed oil is not available in most stores if at all. However, if you can get your hands on this bottle of sunshine, you are far better off.
