INTERESTING FACTS RELATED TO OLIVE OIL

We are very much aware of the goodness of olive oil and its enumerable health benefits.While reading about olive oil I'd came across certain interesting facts related to olive oil,some of them I am mentioning here -

1.In order to produce one quart (32 ounces) of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 11 pounds of olives need to be pressed.
2.One liter of olive oil is produced from the pressing of seven liters of olives.
3.Baked goods will last longer when you substitute olive oil for butter. It is the vitamin E and polyphenols that causes this longer shelf life.
4.Olive oil is technically a fruit juice and the olives are pressed much like an orange or lemon .
5.The fresher the olive oil, the better the taste.  
6.Olives cannot be consumed directly from the tree. Harvested olives need to be processed with brine before they become tasteful. 

7.Extra virgin is the highest quality and most expensive form of olive oil. It comes from the first pressing. It is the least acidic oil, with a strong olive aroma and fresh fruity flavor.

8."Cold pressed" means that the oil was not heated over a certain temperature (27 °C) during processing, thus retaining more nutrients and undergoing less degradation.
