What kind of food is this?
Oil pressed from olives. Known for its oleic acid, it has 7.4mg vitamin E per 100g, 600mg alpha-linolenic acid, and 6600mg linoleic acid.
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid. The body uses it for energy and in cell-membrane lipids, but unlike linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid it is not an essential fatty acid that must come from food.
So olive oil's role is to add energy, oleic acid, and flavor rather than to supply essential fatty acids. If you want essential fatty acids for skin and coat, give that job to other oils.

In food-energetics terms
In food energetics this is classified as "neutral." It neither warms nor cools the body.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
