Understanding Fat in Your Diet: Which olive oil is low in fat? (A Nutrition Guide)

4 min read
Despite common labeling, all olive oils are 100% fat and contain approximately 120 calories per tablespoon, regardless of type. The question of "which olive oil is low in fat?" is based on a misconception, as terms like 'light' refer only to flavor and color, not a reduction in fat or calories. The real health benefit of olive oil lies not in having less fat, but in the type of fat it contains and the presence of beneficial compounds.
