FAQ
Not all olive oil is equal. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is not subjected to heat and is thus the closest thing you can get to fresh oil. Its similar to fresh juice extracted directly from other fruits.
EVOO is full of anti oxidants and healthy fats an is a key component of the Mediterranean Diet which is widely considered as one of the healthiest diets. It is no wonder that it has a wide ranging number of benefits. 2 of the major benefits are Decreased Inflammation and Reduced Risks Of Heart Diseases.

So we try to ensure that you are not wasting in your calories on just consuming an oil, but an EVOO where you can maximize the health benefits to your body.
