Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500 ml) – Vitobest

Description

Due to its multiple properties, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a fundamental component of the Mediterranean diet and is widely used in various countries around the world:

• High content of oleic fatty acids: approximately 82% of its composition. It helps in forming a more stable cellular membrane against oxidation and in regulating gene expression. Scientific studies support the correlation between its intake and the reduction of cardiovascular risks.
• Rich in polyphenols: indicative of high quality. In addition to protecting the oil from autooxidation, they play an important antioxidant-protective role in the body.
• Antioxidant properties: significantly reduce the oxidative degradation of lipids.
• Excellent ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to tocopherols: helps achieve a more correct dietary lipid profile in line with current nutritional goals and recommendations.

Additionally, Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Vitobest® is of high quality because it is obtained directly from green Picual variety olives, harvested in the Serranía de Jaén during the early days of the harvest and processed mechanically (without using any chemicals).

• Early production: various studies show that as the olive ripens, the quantity and composition of its phenolic compounds decrease. Therefore, our oil is produced with early-harvested olives.
• Picual variety: it is the most important variety in the world and the distinctive hallmark of the province of Jaén. It has a medium-high pulp-to-pit ratio and a high fat yield (it can reach up to 27%). Its oil is highly stable and has a characteristic fruitiness, with a slight bitterness and a somewhat spicy flavor.
