Aceite de oliva y colesterol: qué dice la evidencia, cuál elegir y cómo tomarlo

Cuando alguien busca “aceite de oliva colesterol”, normalmente quiere resolver una duda muy concreta: si puede tomarlo, si realmente ayuda y cuál debería elegir. La respuesta útil no es vender humo ni repetir lo de siempre. Lo importante es entender que el aceite de oliva puede encajar muy bien en una alimentación orientada a cuidar el colesterol, sobre todo cuando sustituye grasas menos saludables y se integra dentro de una dieta equilibrada. MedlinePlus y la American Heart Association recomiendan priorizar grasas insaturadas y usar aceites vegetales líquidos, como el de oliva, en lugar de grasas sólidas como mantequilla, manteca o ciertas margarinas.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Brain and Memory: Everything You Need to Know

What Is Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO): The Ultimate Guide

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the highest quality pure olive juice. It is obtained exclusively by mechanical procedures, without heat or chemicals, with an acidity equal to or less than 0.8°, and without any defects in taste. It is, along with virgin olive oil, the only one that can be called authentic "olive juice."

In this article, you will find everything you need to know about EVOO: what makes it different, how it is produced, what its health benefits are, and how to choose a truly high-quality one.

Filtered vs. unfiltered olive oil: which one is right for you?

When someone looks for filtered or unfiltered olive oil, they almost always ask the same question: which one is better. And that's where a very common mistake appears. Many people believe that unfiltered oil is better and superior simply because it looks cloudier, more natural, or more “authentic.”

At Oliva Sí we see it a lot, but the reality is not that simple. An unfiltered oil is not automatically superior. What really changes is its appearance, its stability, and how it is preserved.

Extra virgin olive oil polyphenols: what they are, benefits and how to choose a good EVOO

When talking about EVOO, one of the key differentiating factors is polyphenols. These are natural compounds present in olives that influence the oil's stability, part of its antioxidant profile, and also sensations such as bitterness and spiciness. That's why an extra virgin oil with personality not only tastes better: it also usually expresses its quality better.

At Oliva Sí, we like to explain this point simply: a good oil doesn't just "go down smoothly," it also has life, aroma, and character. In our EVOO PDO Priego de Córdoba, with a coupage of Hojiblanca, Picuda, and Picual, we seek precisely that balance between freshness, green notes, almond, and a slightly spicy finish.

Does olive oil expire? What really happens and how to tell if it's still good

Many people see the date on the bottle and think that, from that day on, the olive oil can no longer be used. But it doesn't quite work like that. With oil, it's common to talk about a "best before" date, not a strict "use by" date like with other highly perishable foods. This means that, after that date, it may still be suitable if it has been stored well, although it will probably no longer retain the same aroma, flavor, and quality. AESAN precisely explains this difference between "use by" and "best before."
