There's good news for those who want to create a holiday feast that's both memorable and heart healthy.

A growing number of cooks are over the top about an ingredient from Down Under. It's a new Australian premium extra virgin olive oil called redisland Australia.

While extra virgin is the highest grade of olive oil, a premium extra virgin olive oil, such as this one, is made to an even higher standard, giving it a distinctive taste, more anti-oxidants and less free fatty acids. Plus, extra virgin olive oil has a high level of monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to lower bad cholesterol without affecting the good, or HDL, cholesterol.

Available in supermarkets nationwide, it can replace less healthy fats in all styles of cooking and dressing of dishes, making heart-healthy holiday cooking easier.
