A totally natural product, no additives, no preservatives - It is the fresh, unadulterated juice of crushed olives.

Extra virgin olive oil is called "The Heart Healthy Oil" because it offers significant health benefits as it contains no cholesterol. It is high in mono-unsaturates, which means it can help to control cholesterol levels as part of a healthy balanced diet, raising good cholesterol and lowering bad cholesterol.

Extra virgin olive oil also provides more antioxidants than any other oil. These help in the prevention of heart disease, acting against the blocking of arteries, and as an anti-inflammatory agent in conditions such as arthritis. It also helps in the prevention of many cancers, including breast cancer.

It is rich in vitamins, especially E & A, which help prevent body cell ageing, and it can help to diminish acidity in the stomach and inhibit gastric secretions, aiding the healing of ulcers. It helps and stimulates the functions of the liver, intestine and pancreas. There is, in addition, a mass of evidence that a diet based on olive oil can promote longer life.
