At the heart of a healthy diet are quality ingredients that help achieve balance and well-being—like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, recognized by the scientific community as one of the pillars of a healthy table. But not everyone knows that Extra Virgin Olive Oil is packed with vitamins, polyphenols, and antioxidants that support our body in many ways. For example:
-
The group of vitamins in EVOO is a primary defense against free radicals that cause cellular oxidation—making it an excellent ally for the skin and for managing conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
-
It protects our digestive system, particularly the stomach, by reducing the risk of reflux from the stomach to the esophagus and promoting the absorption of essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.
-
Thanks to its monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and vitamin E, it helps prevent cardiovascular disorders, aging, and certain cancers.
-
Perfect for children: it is included in infant weaning because it contains essential polyunsaturated fats, similar to those found in breast milk.
-
It lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and helps manage diabetes by reducing blood sugar spikes after meals, thanks to its oleic acid content.
Producing high-quality olive oil is therefore a great responsibility, which is why Colavita has been dedicating passion, commitment, and meticulous care to creating this precious ally for our health since 1938.
