Over the last 25 plus years we have been rediscovering what Greek civilization  understood over 3,000 years ago, that good quality EVOO has a plethora of health benefits. What they may not have understood is that the majority of the health benefits are consequent to a group of chemicals known as Phenols. Phenols are found in most plant groups as well as nuts but some Phenols are unique to the olive/olive oil.
