Yes, it has nutrients that aid in many functions.
That said... please do not do what Rachael Ray does and call it EVOO!

Yes it is good for you!
Recent studies into the health benefits of olive oil have found that it can lower the risk of coronary heart disease by reducing blood cholesterol levels. According to one study, a person’s risk of fatal heart attack is halved in just two to four years once they switch to ‘the Mediterranean diet’, which includes using olive oil as the main dietary fat, increasing vegetable intake, and limiting meat and dairy foods. Research has also found that olive oil may influence body fat distribution, with less fat stored around the stomach.

Yes, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil is one of the best oils you can eat. This goes for all cold-pressed, native oils - native meaning "unrefined".

There is no difference between extra virgin and virgin except for the price. Extra virgin costs more. Why, I don't know. They are both the same except extra virigin sounds fancier.
