Oil with wise art pressed,
from the pure fruit of the ancient olive trees,
that sing -peace!- in their silent language.
Gabriele D'Annunzio
Extra Virgin Olive Oil has all the characteristics to be considered the best condiment in the world. It is no coincidence that UNESCO, in 2010, certified it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Extra virgin olive oil is a rich source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy fats. In detail, extra virgin olive oil contains about 120 calories per tablespoon (15 ml) and offers important nutrients such as vitamin E and K, as well as powerful antioxidants such as polyphenols.
In addition to its benefits in the kitchen, extra virgin olive oil is also appreciated in cosmetics for its natural moisturizing, antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; for hair care and for its versatility in beauty treatments.
