Olive Oil

Growing awareness of the health benefits of olive oil and the increasing popularity of the Mediterranean style diet have contributed to the growth in demand for olive oil in recent years. Olive oil is a prescription for health with its wide variety of valuable antioxidants helping to protect against certain malignant tumours, lower the effects on blood pressure, bolster the immune system and lower levels of total blood cholesterol. Consumption of olive oil is also good for the stomach, hepato-bilary system, pancreas, and intestines. It helps with anti-aging, osteoporosis, cognitive function and skin damage.

 

Olive oil has a wide variety of uses mainly used for cooking. It is now increasingly being used for flavoured oil dipping for bread, flavouring for salads, olive oil sprays and cosmetics. World consumption of olive oil continues moving upwards with a growing trend towards the consumption of extra virgin olive oil.
