The Olive
Di Olivas only offers the best and freshest olive oils from around the world, specifically, 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO). In order to be classified as EVOO, the oil must meet several stringent criteria:
From the “First Pressing” of fresh olives
- Contains no more than 0.8% acidity. The lower the acidity, the better the oil. Di Olivas oils are generally 0.25% or less
- No heat, steam or water is used to extract the oil from the olives (Cold Press only)
- The extracted oil has been evaluated by a panel of experts and and is judged to have a superior taste, flavor and aroma
- Proven Health Benefits
Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been revered for its health benefits. But only 100% EVOO can deliver the unique flavor people love along with the heart healthy, cancer inhibiting benefits. The powerful antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals and a host of natural compounds are responsible for the healthful soul of EVOO. The FDA has affirmed that there is a reduction in the risk of coronary disease associated with the consumption of EVOO vs Saturated fats.
