A good news for these patients is, that the <strong>extra virgin olive oil is free from gluten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olive oil is free from gluten as long as it is only made from olives. Extra virgin&nbsp;olive oil, light olive oil and plain olive oil, all are free from gluten. There are many flavored olive oils in the market, most probably they are gluten free, but it is advisable to read the label.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/spanish-oil-olive-oil-doctor.png\" alt=\"Spanish olive oil doctor and health benefits about olive oil\" class=\"wp-image-451\" style=\"width:200px;height:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/spanish-oil-olive-oil-doctor.png 800w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/spanish-oil-olive-oil-doctor-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/spanish-oil-olive-oil-doctor-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/spanish-oil-olive-oil-doctor-230x173.png 230w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/spanish-oil-olive-oil-doctor-350x263.png 350w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/spanish-oil-olive-oil-doctor-480x360.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Among all types of olive oil, <strong>extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest<\/strong> one and is recommended to the patients to maintain their normal metabolic activities. In order to better understand that why it is gluten free, you must know what extra virgin olive oil is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with its production and chemistry to clarify the subject!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-evoo\">What is EVOO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many centuries, people are crushing and pressing the olive fruits to extract oil from them. The pure oil which is obtained from the olives without the use of chemicals and heat is called as extra virgin olive oil. EVOO is the purest oil on earth. As the process through which it is obtained is free from any other material addition, so it can be said with 100 % surety that extra virgin olive oil is free from gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chemically, extra virgin olive oil is rich in anti-inflammatory oleocanthal,&nbsp;&nbsp;polyphenols, anti-oxidants, 78% mono-unsaturated fatty acids, 13.8% saturated fatty acid. Along with these, vitamin K and E are also in abundance in extra virgin olive oil. All these compounds form up the structure of olive oil and makes it suitable for humans to fight against various diseases and to provide a stable, healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-and-how-gluten-can-enter-evoo\">When and How Gluten can Enter EVOO?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As extra virgin olive oil is only obtained from pure olives, then the only way for gluten to become part of this pure oil is through cross contamination. In other olive oil types, gluten can also enter along with other ingredients that are added in oil for flavor and shelf life enhancement purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipments used for olive oil extraction can also be used for the production of wheat germ oil or processing of other gluten containing products, and in this way gluten can contaminate the olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-799\" style=\"width:256px;height:193px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question.png 1024w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question-768x579.png 768w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question-830x626.png 830w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question-230x173.png 230w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question-350x264.png 350w, https:\/\/spanish-oil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/olive-question-480x362.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Added ingredients in the infused olive oil for flavor can also be derived from gluten grain. For example, in smoked flavored olive oils, barley is added which gives smoke flavor and can be a source of gluten as well. Theoretically, it is possible for other flavoring compounds to have small amounts of gluten in them that can contaminate the olive oil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it is better to double check the label and only go for pure extra virgin olive oil to avoid any of these types of issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"kalam\">Spanish Oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking out for pure extra virgin olive oil, I would love to recommend the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanish-oil.com\/en\/\">Spanish oil\u2019<\/a> company. As no compromise can be made over this gluten issue, so there is no room for any risk.
