Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

description

If you already know your extra virgin olive oils and how to tell if they are of superior quality, then this should be quite enough to convince you:

• Family farmed in Greece 
• 100% Organic
• Carefully cold extracted
• Bottled in tin for superior preservation
• Early harvested for ultimate polyphenol potency
• < 0.5 Acidity 

However, if you think all extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) are created equal then please read on!

But first... Let's take a quick look at the benefits that elevate this oil to superfood status!

These benefits listed are only attributed to extremely high quality oils which can be shown to have maintained their levels of pholyphenols, especially oleocanthal.   

1. EVOO is being increasingly shown to have preventative effects on cognitive decline and the development of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's.
2. The cardiovascular health benefits of EVOO are mounting, even on patients already presenting withdyslipidemia. It is also being shown toslow and even prevent the oxidization of LDL cholesterol (this is when it becomes harmful).
3. The higher the level of polyphenols, particularly oleocanthal in the oil, the higher the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobialeffects of the oil. In fact the anti-inflammatory effects of EVOO in high enough doses are now being compared to those of Ibuprofen. 
4. As research continues it is being used for more and more specific applications, like this study which found high quality EVOO to reduce DNA damage in post menopausal women.

That's a whole lot of well researched, critical health benefits all in one..  If longevity is what we are after it's time to start taking this food seriously
