The extra virgin olive oil is the product of Lakonia. The olive oil is produced on the day of harvest via cold extraction method and is kept under controlled temperature conditions following strict sanitary control and with the support of modern equipment. The ideal climatologic conditions combined with the prosperous soil allow the producers to follow the traditional techniques, while taking advantage of the modern methods of olives’ cultivation. The result of the whole procedure is the production of an excellent quality product with mild fruity taste, golden green color and with particularly low acidity, below 0.5%.

This oil, part of the Mediterranean diet, is a traditional fat that has been a dietary staple for some of the world’s healthiest populations.

There is actually quite a bit of research behind the health effects of olive oil.

These studies show that the fatty acids and antioxidants in it have some powerful health benefits, such as a reduced risk of heart disease.

OLIVE OIL KEEPS THE HEART YOUNG

A diet rich in olive oil may actually be able to slow down the aging of the heart.

It is a known fact that as we grow older the heart also goes through a normal aging process. The arteries may not function as well as they did and this can lead to a number of health problems. However, in a recent study, Spanish researchers discovered that a diet rich in olive oil or other monounsaturated fats could improve the arterial function of elderly individuals.

The health benefits of the Mediterranean diet have been cited in numerous studies, and now with a new large study confirming that it protects from metabolic syndrome we have yet another reason to adopt this style of eating.
The metabolic syndrome is a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, and high blood sugar. “Metabolic syndrome is connected to the obesity epidemic of our time, a big belly poisons our metabolism and a poisoned metabolism can result in type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, stroke, or sudden death,” a leading researcher noted.

The new study found that a Mediterranean-style diet — which includes olive oil, daily consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and low-fat dairy products, weekly consumption of fish, poultry, legumes, and a relatively low consumption of red meat — can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.
