THE WONDERS OF OLIVE OIL
LUSCIOUS FLAVOUR
Olive oil enriches the food experience; it’s bountiful flavours will compliment many cooking experiences. You may wish to enhance a healthy salad, pasta or dip. It can be used to baste food for roasting, braising, grilling and frying; and it can add a luscious flavour for soups, casseroles, marinades or sauces. The options are endless……
IT’S HEALTHY
Olive oil is pure and rich in nutrients, vitamins and essential fatty acids; all highly beneficial to your health.
ANTIOXIDANTS
A continued intake of olive oil into the diet, especially Extra Virgin Olive Oil, provides a constant supply of antioxidants. High consumption of olive oil may therefore provide substantial protection against diseases such as cancer, and coronary disease.
Olive Oil is rich in Vitamin E which is a natural antioxidant. It is also high in Vitamin A, D & K. In comparison with other fats, it is considered that Olive Oil is easier to digest due to the low acidity level.
LOWERS BAD CHOLESTEROL
Olive oil has a particularly high content of monounsaturated fatty acids. Studies have shown that monounsaturated fat can lessen Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (also known as the bad cholesterol), which may decrease the risk of heart disease.
