Jenis-jenis Minyak Zaitun

The olive oil variety depends upon the amount of processing involved to yield the final product.

With the first pressing touted as the most healthful, olive oil’s varieties are: ·

Extra virgin
– The oil from the first pressing of olives, extra virgin olive oil is the least processed and is extracted without using heat or chemicals. ·

Virgin
– The oil that results from the second pressing of olives. ·

Pure
– This olive oil undergoes some processing, such as filtering and refining. ·

Extra light
– Retaining an extremely mild olive flavor, extra light olive oil undergoes a considerable amount of processing. Extra light olive oil may even be blended with vegetable oil.

Hadis Mengenai Khasiat Minyak Zaitun

(i) "Makanlah buah zaitun dan pakailah minyaknya karena ia berasal dari pohon yang diberkahi." (Sunan At Tirmidzi 7/44, Shahih)

.”Ada minyak zaitun, makanlah, URUT seluruh badan kerana ia berkesan untuk BUASIR”, diriwayatkan oleh hazrat Al-Qama bin Amir.

"Siapa yang makan telur, bawang dan minyak zaitun, akan menambah vitalitas". Riwayat Imam Musa as

Rasulullah SAW pernah bersabda: “Sesungguhnya Allah Ta’ala menurunkan penyakit dan ubatnya, dan menjadikan setiap penyakit pasti ada ubatnya. Maka berubatlah kalian, tapi jangan dengan yang haram.” (HR Abu Dawud)

Perbandingan Kebaikan Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The high-phenol (i.e., extra virgin) olive oil outperformed the other two oils (virgin and pure grade) when it came to enhancing three factors helpful to cardiovascular health:

Healthiest cholesterol ratios (i.e., lowest total cholesterol in relation to “good” HDL cholesterol).

Biggest rise in “good” HDL cholesterol (up by 0.045 mmol/L versus only 0.032 mmol/L for medium-phenol oil and 0.025 mmol/L in the low-phenol oil group)

Biggest drop in levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol (down by 3.21 U/L versus only 1.48 U/L for medium-phenol oil and a rise of +1.21 U/L in the low-phenol oil group). Note: The monounsaturated oleic acid in olive oil tends to reduce LDL oxidation, and may have been partly responsible for this effect.

Skin Moisturizer

Whether applied to face or body, olive oil will penetrate deep into the skin and provide a long-lasting shield of moisture to keep skin smooth and supple. Used either as a night cream or daily moisturizer, it is best applied to damp skin, when water can help reduce any feeling of greasiness. We recommend using extra virgin olive oil.

Our readers have also suggested that a little lemon juice mixed with olive oil can provide a more bracing and refreshing feeling. In her best-selling book The Passionate Olive, Carol Firenze suggests making a moisturizer made of Italian parsley, water, and extra virgin olive oil.

Expect the natural benefits of olive oil to take a bit longer to be absorbed into the skin than most lightweight packaged skin products. But the advantages can be longer lasting too.
