How to Use:

Important Information:
Health Benefits:
The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its high content of antioxidative substances. Studies have shown that olive oil offers protection against heart disease by controlling LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels while raising HDL (the "good" cholesterol) levels. No other naturally produced oil has as large an amount of monounsaturated as olive oil -mainly oleic acid.

Olive oil is very well tolerated by the stomach. In fact, olive oil's protective function has a beneficial effect on ulcers and gastritis. Olive oil activates the secretion of bile and pancreatic hormones much more naturally than prescribed drugs. Consequently, it lowers the incidence of gallstone formation.

Studies have shown that people who consumed 25 milliliters (mL) - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily for 1 week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood.

Spanish researchers suggest that including olive oil in your diet may also offer benefits in terms of colon cancer prevention. Their study results showed that rats fed diet supplemented with olive oil had a lower risk of colon cancer than those fed safflower oil-supplemented diets. In fact, the rats that received olive oil had colon cancer rates almost as low as those fed fish oil, which several studies have already linked to a reduction in colon cancer risk.

Allergy Information: This product was manufactured in a facility that uses nuts.  Product may contain traces of nut meats.

Storage:
Resist the temptation to place your beautiful bottle of olive oil on the windowsill. Light and heat are the worst enemies of oils. Keep olive oil in a cool and dark place, tightly sealed because oxygen promotes rancidity. Olive oil is like other oils and can easily go rancid when exposed to air, light or high temperatures.

Things to remember:
Choose olive oil as your main source of dietary fat. Swapping to olive oil as part of a healthy, well-balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals may reduce your risk of developing some chronic diseases. Virgin varieties of olive oil are thought to offer the greatest health benefits as they retain most of the nutrients from the olive fruit. Locally produced olive oil is better than imported because it is kept in storage for less time. Prolonged storage can degrade some of the olive oil’s nutrients.
