Extra virgin olive oil is a pillar of the Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
It is very high in monounsaturated fats and contains a modest amount of vitamins E and K.
True extra virgin olive oil is loaded with antioxidants, some of which have powerful health benefits.
Olive oil may be one of the healthiest food you can eat for heart health. It reduces blood pressure and inflammation, protects LDL particles from oxidation and may help to prevent unwanted blood clotting.

The online masterclass falls under "True Italian Taste" a project promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and coordinated by Assocamerestero, the association that brings together 78 Italian Chambers of Commerce in the world.
Started a couple of years ago in the United States and in Europe, now the project has extended to many Asian countries, amongst which is Singapore. The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore will focus on increasing knowledge locally about real Italian food, in markets where the genuine Italian food experience is challenged by other products that utilize Italian names and/or symbols that recall Italy but are not authentic.
Aim of the project is to educate about the meaning of quality European certification such as DOP (Protected designation of origin) and IGP (Protected geographical indication), labels that certify a specific link to the place they have been produced, so to educate consumers to look for those labels and find authenticity.
