Olive oil is way better than butter

Extra virgin olive oil is tastier and healthier than any butter. For one, it doesn’t raise your cholesterol like butter does. There’s a reason the mediterranean diet is praised and people there live mostly health lives. It’s the olive oil. Also, the worlds best cuisines are olive oil based (Spanish, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Lebanese). I just don’t see any reason why butter would be better. Maybe because it’s “spreadable”?
