Before you venture olive oil, a few useful tips
from a semi expert (humble-me):

~Buy Extra-virgin olive oil only.
~Production date should not exceed 12 months
(my deadline is 6 months at most)
~The less acidity, the better. No more than 0.8%,
my preference is 0.4%-0.5%, but 0.8% is quite ok too.

Follow above guidelines, the rest will take
good care of itself.

Olive oil's health benefits

Studies have shown that people who consumed 25 milliliters (mL) - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily for 1 week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood.(4)
