The Mediterranean diet is now well known worldwide and recognized as a nutrition reference model by the World Health Organization. Virgin olive oil, prepared from healthy and intact fruits of the olive tree only by mechanical means, is a basic ingredient, a real pillar of this diet. Its positive role in health has now been a topic of universal concern. The virtues of natural olive oil, and especially of extra virgin olive oil, are related to the quality of the fruits, the employment of advanced technologies, and the availability of sophisticated analytical techniques that are used to control the origin of the fruits and guarantee the grade of the final product. With the aim of enriching the recent multidisciplinary scientific information that orbits around this healthy lipid source, a new special issue of journal has been published.
地中海饮食如今在全球广为人知,并被世界卫生组织认可为一种营养参考模式。初榨橄榄油仅通过机械手段由橄榄树健康完整的果实制成,是这种饮食的一种基本成分,是其真正的支柱。它对健康的积极作用现已成为普遍关注的话题。天然橄榄油,尤其是特级初榨橄榄油的优点,与果实的品质、先进技术的应用以及用于控制果实来源和保证最终产品等级的精密分析技术的可用性有关。为了丰富围绕这种健康脂质来源的最新多学科科学信息,该期刊已出版了一期新的特刊。
