About Spray olive oil

Spray olive oil is a convenient form of olive oil that allows for controlled application, often used in cooking to reduce overall oil consumption. Olive oil originates from the Mediterranean region, where it has been a cornerstone of cuisine for centuries. Extra virgin olive oil, commonly used in sprays, is obtained through mechanical pressing of olives without heat or chemicals, preserving its nutrients. It contains monounsaturated fats, small amounts of polyunsaturated fats, and antioxidants such as vitamin E and polyphenols, which are beneficial for health. Each spray application typically provides minimal calories, making it ideal for lighter cooking methods such as roasting or sautéing.

Health Benefits

• Supports cardiovascular health due to high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, which reduce LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
• Rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and promotes skin health.
• Contains polyphenols that help reduce inflammation, supporting overall health and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases.

Can I use spray olive oil on a keto diet?

Are there any health benefits to using spray olive oil?

Spray olive oil provides the same health benefits as regular olive oil, such as supporting heart health, reducing inflammation, and improving cholesterol levels due to its high content of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants like polyphenols. Using the spray form can help control portion sizes and reduce excess calorie consumption.

How much spray olive oil should I use per serving?

For light cooking or seasoning, a 1-second spray (approximately 1.5 grams) is generally enough, which provides about 12 calories and 1.4 grams of fat. Adjust according to your recipe, but avoid overspraying to maintain portion control.

Is spray olive oil better than regular olive oil for cooking?

Spray olive oil isn't necessarily better but is more convenient for controlling portions and evenly coating pans or food. Nutritionally, it's the same as regular olive oil, as long as the spray does not include any added propellants or artificial ingredients.
