Benefits of Olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil is a 100% natural product, obtained directly from olives using only mechanical processes, unlike most other vegetable oils, which are refined. Therefore, since it is a monounsaturated fat (called “good fat”), with zero saturated fat, olive oil is a source of energy with structural, storage and metabolic functions.
Some of the main benefits of olive oil:
Prevents organ and tissue inflammation, helping prevent cardiovascular disease and reduce cholesterol.
Through its antioxidant effects, olive oil helps prevent several types of cancer.
Olive oil is a rapidly absorbed fat, making it easier to digest.
Aids bone mineralisation, stimulating calcium growth and absorption.

Olive oil is an essential part of the Mediterranean Diet, which is notable for being a way of life, involving natural eating habits based on local agricultural products, employing regional recipes and preparation methods that are passed down from generation to generation, sharing meals, celebrations and traditions. All of this complemented with the perfect balance between leisure and work, friends and family, sports, culture and food.
