It is widely known that there are many positive health factors associated
with consumption of olive oil. Medical studies indicate that Mediterranean
countries and specifically Italy, where olive oil consumption is high, suffer
less cardiovascular health problems than other countries in the world
where the consumption of animal fat is high or simply the nutrition
parameters are poor.
In addition, olive oil helps the normal function of the digestive system
reducing to minimum the chances of ulcers and other related diseases.
Extra virgin olive oil (by definition is cold pressed) is the least processed of
the different grades of oil. As a result, it retains the highest levels of
antioxidants and polyphenolics found in olives. Antioxidants may protect
the body from age-related changes and certain diseases. Polyphenolics are
compounds thought to improve the immune system.
There are many factors that contribute to producing the perfect extra
virgin olive oil. Our organic farming, hand picking processes and care of
