Extra virgin olive oil

About it

Olive oil is all fat, almost 900 kcal per 100 g, so measure it with a spoon rather than pouring from the bottle. The Australian Dietary Guidelines suggest swapping foods high in saturated fat for ones with mostly unsaturated fats, like olive oil, nuts and avocado.

Ways to eat it

  • Drizzle over soup
  • In salad dressings
  • For roasting vegetables
