For centuries olive oil has been considered as food, ointment and holy oil. In ancient times, olive oil was anointed on to kings, has perfumed pharaohs and have made people rich. Its applications are as many as its benefits. It preserves the aroma, flavour, vitamins and all the properties of the fruit it comes from.  Besides, it’s the only vegetal oil that can be consumed raw and virgin and only has 9 calories per gram.  Up to an 80% of olive oil is made up of monounsaturated fat which resists better than the polyunsaturated fat the oxidation process and helps maintain high levels of HDL-“healthy cholesterol”, and low levels of LDL –“harmful cholesterol”.

Vitamin E and antioxidants are other components of olive oil; these are synergic and prevent the fat oxidation, which in turn reduces the risk for arteriosclerosis and some types of cancer. It improves the stomach and pancreas functioning and the intestinal and liver levels. It is a perfect tonic for skin care; it stimulates development and favours the absorption of calcium and the mineralization of the body. It is the best oil for all stages of development, particularly childhood.
