Brief introduction of olive oil
Olive oil has a history of thousands of years in Mediterranean countries. It is known as "liquid gold", "queen of vegetable oil" and "Mediterranean nectar" in the west because of its excellent natural health care effect, beauty effect and ideal cooking use. Edible high-grade olive oil is a natural fruit oil juice extracted from fresh or mature olives by physical cold pressing process. It is the only woody plant oil in the world that is eaten by people in a natural state. It originated in the coastal countries of China. Humans have been cultivated for thousands of years. According to statistics, in the Bible, "olives"-that is, "olives"-appeared more than 200 times.
Olive is a famous tree species with a long history in the world. In plant taxonomy, olive belongs to Oleaceae, Oleaceae and small evergreen trees. The Mediterranean coast has the most suitable climatic conditions such as soil and temperature, sunshine, air humidity and precipitation. Except the Mediterranean coast, other areas can only be planted sporadically in suitable areas. Olive is a long-lived tree. Planting for 4-5 years begins to bear fruit, and the full fruit period can be as long as 50 years to 100 years. The fruit is drupe and looks like jujube. Every year from March to June, it is the time when olive trees blossom and bear fruit. From July to 10, the fruit began to develop and mature, and the fruit changed from green to red to purple, and finally turned black. 165438+ 10 is the fruit picking season. The physical characteristics and chemical composition of olive pulp vary with varieties, maturity, geographical environment, soil texture and planting methods. For example, olive oil produced in Crete, Greece, has the best quality because of its unique geographical environment and climatic conditions.
background knowledge
Olive oil originated in Asia Minor and is a world-famous subtropical evergreen woody oil-bearing fruit tree. It is green and fragrant and deeply loved by local people. Since then, with the development of trade, people in countries along the Mediterranean Sea have loved it, so it has gradually expanded to the Mediterranean region. There are also natural olives (Olea europaeaL) in China, with an annual output of 2.5 million tons in the world, including edible olive oil/kloc-0.0 million tons. In recent 20 years, olive oil products have increased at the rate of l.28%%, edible olive oil has increased at the rate of 2.8%, and its price has also increased accordingly, which is constantly optimistic.
At present, the world's major olive oil producers are concentrated in Mediterranean countries, mainly Spain, Italy, Greece, Tunisia, Turkey, Syria and Morocco, which account for 90% of the world's total olive oil production. Spain, Italy and Greece are the three largest producers and exporters of olive oil in the world. Spain's olive oil production ranks first in the world, but its export volume ranks second in the world, second only to Italy. Italy ranks second in the world in olive oil production, but it is the largest consumer, exporter and importer. The country with the best quality of olive oil is Greece, especially the olive oil in Crete, Greece. At present, the annual output of olive oil in the world is only about 2.5 million tons, while the annual output of herbal oils such as peanut oil and soybean oil in China has exceeded170,000 tons. Olive oil has become a scarce resource in the world because of its large output and excellent nutrients.
In ancient Greek mythology, the paste of divines extracted from olive fruit has amazing effects. When Hera tried to seduce Zeus, she painted herself with this sacred ointment-olive oil. It was not until the end of Homer's era that olive oil gained economic value. However, only aristocrats and rich people can use olive oil, which is regarded as a precious ointment in the homes of some Trojan heroes.
In Roman bathing culture, olive oil is a part of health and beauty ceremonies. They massage with olive oil first, and then scrape it off with a curved bone scraper. The Romans were particularly sympathetic to the magical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of olive oil.
The ancient Hebrews believed that a king must be painted with shiny olive oil to become a real prince charming. In the New Testament, when Adam came back from Noah's ark, he used the green olive branch as a symbol to alleviate the disturbance of the flood, so since then, the olive tree has been given the meaning of life recovery and peace.
More importantly, the olive tree culture has influenced the development of western civilization. /kloc-During the great voyage in the 5th century, Spain, a maritime power at that time, brought the civilization of olive trees to the New World in the East, South Africa, Australia, America, China and Japan with light sailboats. For westerners, olive is the best synonym for the tree of life, because it not only ignites Mediterranean civilization, but also brings happiness of taste, health and youth!

Petroleum classification
▲ The first type: the newly revised European Union olive oil grading standards EEC 2568/9 1 and EC 1989/2003 Chinese reference name international standard name acidity.
(1) olive oil:
Extra virgin olive oil ≤0.8
Virgin olive oil ≤2.0.
Low grade virgin olive oil Lampante olive oil > 2.0
Refined olive oil ≤0.3
Mixed olive oil composed of mixed olive oil ≤ 1.0.
Refined olive oil and virgin olive oil
(2) Fruit residue:
Olive pomace crude oil crude olive pomace residue >: 0.5
Refined olive residue is less than or equal to 0.3.
Olive fruit residue ≤ 1.0.
▲ the second type: olive oil grading standard coi/T.15/NC No.3/Rev.12003 Chinese reference name international standard name acidity.
(1) olive oil:
Extra virgin olive oil ≤0.8
Virgin olive oil ≤2.0.
Ordinary virgin olive oil ≤3.3
Low grade virgin olive oil Lampante virgin olive oil > 3.3
Refined olive oil ≤0.3
Pure olive oil ≤ 1.0
(2) Fruit residue:
Olive pomace crude oil crude olive residue
Refined olive residue ≤0.3
Olive fruit residue ≤ 1.0.
Refer to the above two main classification standards of olive oil:
(1) Extra virgin olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil with acidity less than 0.8 is the best quality olive oil. Pure natural juice squeezed from fresh olive fruit within 24 hours is made by oil-water separation. The squeezing method adopts a pure physical low-temperature squeezing method without adding any preservatives and additives. Biochemical indicators and sensory characteristics must also meet the relevant standards.
(2) High-quality virgin olive oil: The acidity of olive oil obtained by pressing is not more than 2.0, which meets the prescribed edible standard.
(3) Low-grade virgin olive oil: The acidity of olive oil obtained by pressing is above 2.0, and it is only used for refining and refining olive oil.
(4) Refined olive oil: colorless and odorless olive oil refined from low-grade virgin olive oil. The acidity does not exceed 0.3.
(5) Blended oil: synthetic oil with different proportions of refined olive oil and virgin olive oil, with acidity not exceeding 1.0.
(6) Olive residue crude oil: inedible, and can be used for refining and refining olive residue.
(7) Refined olive residue: the acidity of olive residue crude oil is not more than 0.3 fruit residue.
(8) Olive pomace: the mixed oil of refined olive pomace and virgin olive oil, with the acidity not exceeding 1.0.
In order to protect consumers, the new EU regulations require that olive oil containers should not be larger than five liters, and they should be sealed with coded disposable sealing strips, and the label must indicate the grade of olive oil. Blended oil with olive oil content below 50% cannot have the word olive oil on the label.
The acidity of olive oil is an important index, but each grade has its own biochemical index and sensory characteristics.
In addition to the above, extra virgin olive oil can also be divided into:
Ordinary extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin olive oil with protected origin, extra virgin olive oil with protected organic origin, extra virgin olive oil with protected organic origin. These last three kinds of olive oil are the highest grade olive oil in the world.
Logo translation
Because there is no uniform requirement for the translation of imported olive oil in China, some importers confuse the translation of olive oil, which makes consumers often look at the flowers in the fog. However, no matter what the name is translated into, consumers only need to pay attention to the foreign language grade label of olive oil bottles. These labels are only applicable to olive oil imported from the EU, because the EU has strict classification of olive oil grades, and there are port inspection requirements for every batch of olive oil exported from the EU. Therefore, China's olive oil imported from EU member states can reach the grade indicated above with confidence. The following are some signs and translated names of olive oil:
Some olive oil bottles have the following signs: orujo (Spanish), sansa (Italian) and pomace (English). These signs are all signs of residual oil, so no matter how noble the dealer claims that the olive oil with this sign is, it is only olive oil. Here, we are not saying that olive oil residue is not good. In fact, because the output of virgin olive oil is relatively small and expensive, many European families use olive oil residue for heating and cooking. Only the residual oil is about 20% cheaper than extra virgin olive oil.
Some olive oil bottles are marked with the following words: only olive oil (English), Aceite de Oliva (Spanish), or these words appear in logo: refined (English) and Refined (Spanish), which mean refined or refined olive oil. Some people also translate it into pure olive oil, 100% olive oil, but they are all refined olive oil.
The logo on some olive oil bottles reads: Extra Light Oilve Oil, in fact, this is not virgin olive oil, which literally means ultra-light olive oil, but also a refined olive oil. As we said above, the refined olive oil will be mixed with virgin olive oil to increase the taste and color. And according to the different proportion of virgin olive oil, it will have different names:
Mixing 50% virgin olive oil and 50% refined olive oil is called more delicious.
The mixture of 30% virgin olive oil and 70% refined olive oil is called medium taste.
15% virgin olive oil mixed with 85% refined olive oil is called light taste.
The mixture of 3% virgin olive oil and 97% refined olive oil is called: very mild taste, very light. In fact, this oil is only mixed with a little virgin olive oil. Because the value of virgin olive oil is relatively high, the refined oil with only 3% virgin olive oil actually has only a little olive oil fragrance.
We have said so many ways to identify olive oil, which is actually very simple. Those marked without virgin (English) and virgin (Spain) are not virgin olive oil. Refined olive oil and olive oil residue are both refined olive oil. The above introduction is only a part of the different names of EU olive oil, which is only applicable to the olive oil exported from the EU and filled in the EU, not applicable to the label specifications of olive oil in other countries except the EU, such as Turkey and Tunisia, and the names of olive oil imported from abroad and repackaged in China.
In addition, the way to distinguish between original import and domestic repackaging is also very simple. Just look at the international bar code on the olive oil bottle. The goods at the beginning of 690/693 are all made in China. The barcode of Spain is 84, and that of France is 30/37. Bar code is the symbol of a commodity, which has the information of origin. Therefore, consumers can easily distinguish whether each kind of olive oil is imported or not.
Health value
1, promoting blood circulation:
Olive oil can prevent arteriosclerosis and its complications, hypertension, heart disease, heart failure, renal failure and cerebral hemorrhage. In the book Omega Health and Simple Longevity Plan written by Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, it is mentioned that omega -6 fatty acids in edible oil will make arteries contract, forcing the heart to work overtime, leading to high blood pressure. Omega-3 fatty acids in olive oil can increase the content of nitric oxide (an important chemical) and relax your arteries, thus preventing arterial injury caused by high blood pressure. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids can also prevent thrombosis from two aspects. First of all, it can reduce the viscosity of platelets, so that platelets and fibrinogen are not easily entangled; Secondly, omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the amount of fibrinogen and greatly reduce the probability of thrombosis.
2, improve the function of digestive system:
Olive oil contains unsaturated fatty acids higher than any vegetable oil, rich in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, F, K, carotene, antioxidants and other ingredients, and contains no cholesterol, so the human body's digestion and absorption rate is extremely high. Has the effects of reducing gastric acid and preventing gastritis and duodenal ulcer. It can also stimulate bile secretion, increase pancreatic enzyme activity, degrade oil, and be absorbed by intestinal mucosa, thus reducing the occurrence of cholecystitis and gallstones.
3, protect the skin:
Olive oil is rich in squalene and essential fatty acids with excellent affinity to skin, which can be absorbed quickly and effectively keep skin elastic and moist; Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamins E, K, A, D and phenolic antioxidants, which can eliminate facial wrinkles, prevent skin aging, protect hair and prevent chapped hands and feet. It is an edible beauty and skin care product. In addition, applying olive oil to the skin can resist ultraviolet rays and prevent skin cancer.
4, improve the endocrine system function:
Olive oil can improve the metabolic function of the body. This is because olive oil contains more than 80% monounsaturated fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids, and DHA in omega-3 fatty acids can increase insulin sensitivity. The higher the content of unsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane, the more double bonds and the stronger the activity. DHA with six double bonds is the most unsaturated fatty acid, which makes the cell membrane the most active. The more insulin receptors on the cell membrane with strong activity, the more sensitive it is to insulin. When the human body ingests a proper proportion of fatty acids, the metabolism will be more normal, and the probability of obesity and diabetes will be reduced. The latest research results show that the glucose content of healthy people can be reduced by 12% after eating olive oil. Therefore, olive oil has become the best edible oil to prevent and treat diabetes.
5. Benefits to the skeletal system:
Natural antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids in olive oil help the human body absorb minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and zinc, and promote bone growth. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids help to maintain bone density and reduce osteoporosis caused by free radicals (highly active molecules).
6, anti-cancer effect:
Because olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids in polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce the amount of linoleic acid extracted from blood by cancer, which makes cancer quit a very needed nutrient. ω-3 fatty acids can also compete with ω-6 fatty acids for enzymes needed for cancer metabolism, which makes the cell membrane of cancer cells more unsaturated and easy to be destroyed, thus inhibiting the growth of tumor cells and reducing the incidence of cancer. Therefore, some cancers (breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and uterine cancer) can be prevented. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids (polyunsaturated fatty acids) can also increase the curative effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and kill cells by the explosion of free radicals (highly active molecules). When the cell membrane is damaged enough, cancer cells will destroy themselves. Omega-3 fatty acids make the cell membrane more vulnerable to free radicals, thus increasing the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
7, radiation protection:
Olive oil is often used to make astronaut food because it contains polyphenols and lipopolysaccharide and also has the function of radiation protection. People who often use computers think it is a good product for health care and skin care.
8, making baby food:
According to its composition and digestibility, olive oil is the most suitable oil for infants. Half of the baby's calories come from the fat in the mother's milk. After weaning, the required calories will be obtained through the fat in the diet. The ratio of linolenic acid to linoleic acid in olive oil is similar to that in breast milk, which is easy to absorb and can promote the growth and development of infants' nerves and bones. It is an excellent nutritional product and fetal growth agent for pregnant women, and also a good tonic for postpartum and lactation.
9, anti-aging:
Among many components of olive oil, carotene and chlorophyll give olive oil yellow-green, while chlorophyll plays a metabolic role, promoting cell growth and accelerating wound healing. It also helps to beautify people's appearance and reduce wrinkles. Experiments show that antioxidants contained in olive oil can eliminate free radicals in the body, restore the health of human organs, prevent brain aging and prolong life.
10, prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases:
Olive oil can protect the cardiovascular system in many ways. ① Inflammation can be prevented by reducing homocysteine (an amino acid that can damage the coronary artery wall) and the damage to the arterial wall can be reduced. ② Relaxing arteries and lowering blood pressure by increasing the content of nitric oxide in the body. ③ Monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil can reduce the oxidation of LDA cholesterol. ④ Olive oil contains a substance called squalene, which can increase the content of HDL (good cholesterol) and decrease the content of LDL (bad cholesterol). The more HDL cholesterol in the body, the less oxidized LDL cholesterol in the arteries. The latest research proves that. After middle-aged men took olive oil, the average cholesterol decreased by 13%, and the dangerous "bad" cholesterol decreased by 2 1%. ⑤ Olive oil can reduce the speed of thrombosis by increasing the content of omega-3 fatty acids in the body.
Therefore, olive oil is suitable for people of all ages:
For infants and young children: olive oil helps to balance metabolism and promote the development of children's nervous system, bones and brain.
For adults: it helps to prevent diseases such as arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and digestive system disorders.
For the elderly: olive oil has a good preventive effect on osteoporosis. It can slow down the decline of cell membrane, thus delaying aging.
For women, olive oil contains a variety of nutrients and is very powerful for the skin. It is a safe and reliable beauty product, known as the "beauty oil" in the west.
Edible method
Olive oil is becoming an ideal edible oil in the new century with its unique physical and chemical indexes and health care functions. Olive oil is widely used in many western countries. If we compare ordinary salad oil with olive oil, salad oil is transparent yellow, smells obviously oily, and smells a little smoky after being put into the pot. Olive oil is yellow and green. It smells attractive and fragrant. After being put into the pot, the fragrance of fruits and vegetables runs through the whole cooking process, which will not destroy the color of vegetables and will not have any greasy feeling.
1, fried in olive oil
Different from herb oil, olive oil has antioxidant properties and high content of unsaturated fatty acids, so it can keep its chemical structure stable at high temperature. When ordinary edible oil is used, when the oil temperature exceeds the smoke point, the chemical structure of the oil will change, resulting in carcinogens. The smoke point of olive oil is between 240-270 degrees Celsius, which is much higher than other common edible oils, so olive oil can be used repeatedly without deterioration, and it is the most suitable oil for frying.
2. Barbecue with olive oil.
Olive oil is also suitable for burning, roasting, frying and boiling. When cooking with olive oil, the food will give off an attractive fragrance, which makes people drool. It is especially recommended to use olive oil for fried rice with eggs or barbecue.
3. Use olive oil as sauce and seasoning.
The purpose of using sauce is to bring out the taste of food, not to cover it up. Olive oil is the best oil in cold sauce and hot sauce, which can protect the color of fresh sauce.
Step 4 marinate in olive oil
Pickling with olive oil before cooking can increase the delicacy of food and set off other spices to enrich the taste.
Step 5 use olive oil directly
Using extra virgin olive oil directly will give full play to the characteristics of dishes. You can use olive oil like salt, because extra virgin olive oil will make the dishes richer and more delicious. Extra virgin olive oil can also be added to any dish to balance foods with high acidity, such as lemon juice, wine vinegar, wine and tomatoes. It can also make the flavors of various spices in food more harmonious. If you add some olive oil to a spicy dish, you will find it tastes better. Extra virgin olive oil can also make food more fragrant, smoother and more mellow.
Step 6 bake with olive oil
Olive oil is also suitable for baking bread and desserts. Olive oil tastes much better than cream and can be widely used in any dessert and bread.
Step 7 cook with olive oil
Pour a spoonful of olive oil when cooking to make the rice more fragrant and full of particles.
