Benefits of Olive Oil

🌿 Why olive oil matters—and why we stand by it at Foodies Mediterranean BBQ 🫒

At Foodies Mediterranean BBQ, olive oil isn’t a trend—it’s a standard.

Why we choose olive oil

  • Naturally rich in antioxidants and polyphenols

  • High in heart-friendly monounsaturated fats

  • More stable for cooking than many industrial oils

  • Minimally processed—simple, clean, and traditional

Why we avoid seed oils

  • Many common seed oils (soybean, canola, corn, sunflower) are highly refined and industrially processed

  • Often extracted using high heat and chemical solvents

  • High in omega-6 fats, which are already over-consumed in modern diets

  • Can break down more easily under heat, affecting quality and flavor

And here’s the difference you don’t always see:

Many fast-food restaurants rely on deep fryers filled with seed oils that are filtered and reused repeatedly. Over time, these oils degrade, oxidize, and lose quality—something we believe has no place in real food.

🔥 We don’t deep-fry. We don’t reuse oils. And we don’t cut corners.

We cook the Mediterranean way—using olive oil only, fresh ingredients, and time-honored techniques.

Taste food made with intention.
