Traditionally cured olives, such as those found at most olive bars, offer a host of health benefits. For starters, they're rich in iron, vitamin E and copper, and are an excellent source of fiber. But what about all the fat?
It's true that olives do have some fat, but it's the incredibly healthy monounsaturated variety. Monounsaturated fats have been found to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and increase HDL (good) cholesterol.
However, olives contain a triple whammy for your health that works in synergy to provide extreme benefits. Along with monounsaturated fats, olives are rich in vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that neutralizes damaging free radicals, along with polyphenols and flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory properties.

What is difference between extra virgin olive oil and olive oil?
Regular olive oil isn't as purified or as good as extra virgin. Extra virgin is sweeter, and does better in recipes than regular olive oil. Extra virgin is from the first pressing of the olives. Regular comes later after the olives are pressed again and a lot of the olive taste is no longer in the oil. Extra virgin oil is a bit stronger, say if you were making thick cookies, it would be a lot better because if you use regular olive oil the cookies would most likely stick to the pan.
