Pairings These types of oil pair well with classic Mediterranean diet dishes. Nutritional benefits Extra virgin olive oil is characterized by a large amount of polyphenols. Polyphenols have an anti-oxidant action against certain molecules known as free radicals. The production of free radicals is physiological, however, in some cases, it can become excessive leading to the development of oxidative stress diseases, such as heart diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. Humans defend themselves from these oxidative stress mechanisms partly with innate antioxidants and partly with antioxidants obtained from the diet. Another component of EVO oil that has beneficial health activities is squalene: it has an important physiological role in cell renewal and is chemo-protective against certain cancer forms. The oil also contains carotenes, which have an orange-red color, among which the most significant is β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A (hence called Provitamin A).
