Extra Virgin Olive Oil

About

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is renowned for its exceptional quality and health benefits. It is extracted from olives using mechanical methods without heat, preserving its natural flavors and nutrients. EVOO is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E and polyphenols like oleocanthal, which have anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds help protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease and certain cancers by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. EVOO is also a significant source of monounsaturated fats, primarily oleic acid, which supports heart health by improving cholesterol levels. Its distinct flavor and aroma make it versatile in cooking, suitable for salads, sautéing, and baking. While it has a lower smoke point than refined olive oils, its rich nutritional profile and lack of chemical processing make it a preferred choice for those seeking a healthier and more natural cooking option. Its production is governed by strict standards, ensuring high quality and purity.
