In the world of table oils, olive oil is a special case because it is obtained from fresh fruit (the oil is contained in the pulp). The aromatic palette of olive oil is unparalleled compared to other table oils, which are typically seed oils that are often refined, thus losing their organoleptic characteristics. Olive oil is a natural product, extracted by mechanical means only, without excessive heat or the addition of any other products.

If your dish has strong, pronounced taste, choose a robust, grassy olive oil with a rich flavour, slightly peppery (example: on carpaccio of beef). Your dish is delicate and refined, choose a floral and creamy olive oil (example: with scallops, a dessert). If you want to boost the taste of an ingredient, choose an oil that will have a similar taste (example: a tomato salad seasoned with olive oil with notes of tomato leaf).
Studies based on the observation of people’s eating habits show the beneficial effects that the eating habits followed by the inhabitants of the Mediterranean rim have on their health. Olive oil, the base of the famous Cretan diet, is good for your health. It’s rich in vitamin E, omega-9, and polyphenols (powerful antioxidants). It prevents cardiovascular disease, increases good cholesterol, and slows cell aging. An early harvest, the variety of the olive, and the extraction methods have an influence on the presence and intensity of these antioxidants. The strength (tingling sensation at the back of the throat) is a sign of the quality of great olive oil and a source of daily well-being.
