OLIVE OIL CLASS IN SESSION 🫒 Topic: Oleocanthal

Ever tasted a really good extra virgin olive oil and felt a little peppery kick in the back of your throat? Or perhaps a tickle that made you cough? Not to worry! That's supposed to happen.

In fact, that little spicy kick is a sign of something GOOD.

Fresh extra virgin olive oil is supposed to have flavor. Depending on the olives and how the oil is made, you might notice grassy, fruity, buttery, or even peppery notes. Some oils are mild and mellow, while others have a bold, spicy finish…

…which brings us back to the throat tickle. The cause is oleocanthal: a naturally occurring compound in extra virgin olive oil that's responsible for much of that peppery sensation. It's also been studied for its anti-inflammatory effects, with research suggesting it may act on some of the same inflammatory pathways as ibuprofen!

The takeaway here is to get hyped when you feel a little kick in an EVOO! That peppery finish is a nod to its agriculture and proof of its naturally occurring benefits. Drizzle it over roasted veggies, swirl it into soup, or toss some pasta with it. Your taste buds (and your body) will thank you!
