Butter has never been the only option, and for anyone who's noticed how much richer a good olive oil cake tastes than expected, it's clear why. Olive oil brings moisture that stays long after a bake has cooled, along with a subtle fruitiness that butter simply can't offer. It's a quiet substitution that changes very little about the method and a great deal about the result.

Swap it in at a one-to-one ratio, roughly three-quarters of the amount if replacing butter directly, in citrus cakes, dense chocolate loaves, or a simple olive oil cake finished with flaky salt. Choose a milder oil so it supports the bake rather than announcing itself, and let it do its quiet work.

The Jezreel range includes oils gentle enough for exactly this.

Good olive oil rewards more than the palate. Research into the Mediterranean diet, one of the most studied dietary patterns in the world, consistently points to regular extra virgin olive oil consumption as a meaningful support for heart health, healthy cholesterol levels, and long-term wellbeing.
The benefit lies largely in oleic acid, the monounsaturated fat that makes up the majority of EVOO's profile, working alongside natural polyphenols that most refined oils have already lost. Around two tablespoons a day is the amount most research points to as effective, easily woven into a morning routine, a salad, or a finishing drizzle over dinner.
It isn't a supplement to remember. It's simply a habit worth building, one spoonful of grace at a time.

Why can the same 100 kg of olives produce very different amounts of oil? 🫒

Oil yield begins with the fruit itself. Variety sets the biological potential, while ripening changes both oil accumulation and moisture. A wetter olive may weigh more without containing proportionally more oil, which lowers the apparent yield.

Extraction conditions also determine how much of the oil present in the fruit is actually recovered, as a small part inevitably remains in the pomace.

Good olive oil deserves good storage.
Light, heat, and air degrade the polyphenols and healthy fats in EVOO. Keep it in a dark cupboard away from the stove. Keep the lid on. Use it within three to six months of opening. Simple rules that protect everything that makes quality EVOO worth buying.
The premium EVOOs available from Jezreel Olive are worth treating well.

How much olive oil should you actually be using?
Research supporting the health benefits of EVOO consistently points to around two tablespoons per day. That's 30ml, enough to dress a salad, finish a pasta, or drizzle over vegetables. It's not a supplement. It's a daily habit that fits naturally into cooking when you're using quality oil.
The premium EVOOs available from Jezreel Olive make that an easy habit to keep.

The Mediterranean diet is good for the brain. And EVOO is central to it.
Research links regular extra virgin olive oil consumption to improved cognitive function and reduced risk of cognitive decline. The polyphenols in EVOO have been shown to help clear amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease. It's not a cure, but it is a meaningful dietary habit backed by consistent research.
Two tablespoons a day of cold extracted, unrefined EVOO is what most studies support.
The premium EVOOs available from Jezreel Olive meet that standard.

There's a compound in extra virgin olive oil called oleocanthal.
Research has shown it produces a similar enzyme-inhibiting effect to ibuprofen. The characteristic throat catch you feel when tasting high-quality EVOO is oleocanthal. It's not a medicine, but it is a meaningful natural anti-inflammatory that supports long-term health when consumed regularly.
Cold extraction preserves oleocanthal. Refining destroys it. Every oil available from Jezreel Olive is cold extracted.

That slight bitterness in good olive oil? That's the polyphenols.
Polyphenols are natural antioxidant compounds found in extra virgin olive oil. They're linked to reduced inflammation, improved cardiovascular health, and protection against oxidative stress. They're also what gives real EVOO its characteristic bitterness and pepperiness.
Refined oils lose most of their polyphenol content during processing. Cold extracted, unrefined EVOO retains them.
Every oil available from Jezreel Olive is cold extracted and unrefined.
