SHOPPING TIP
Select an olive oil that comes in a dark bottle and keep it tightly sealed in a cool place. Heat, light and air cause unsaturated oils, like olive oil, to go rancid and become carcinogenic. For these reasons, enjoy olive oil raw or only lightly cooked. If you do cook with olive oil, combine it with a saturated fat like butter or coconut oil to make it more heat stable.
