The place and the extraction
The olive tree is characteristic of the Mediterranean area, very widespread in Italy. Olives are the fruit of this tree and from them we obtain olive oil, a liquid fat, used in cooking and as a salad dressing.
This oil is obtained by cold mechanical extraction without the addition of any solvent or chemical product. That is why olive oil is a healthy, natural and tasty food.
If the olive trees are grown organically, we get an organic olive oil.
Its fruit, olive, is rich in antioxidant properties, contains vitamin E, monounsaturated fats and mineral salts, including potassium and calcium
These characteristics make olives and olive oil two of the key elements in the Mediterranean diet, a nutritional model known and appreciated worldwide.
