Healthy and Tasty

The olive oil is very healthy; it can be used in all foods and is recommended as very digestible oil. It does not fatten more than the other oils because it has exactly the same number of calories (9cal/gram).

If it is added at the end of cooking it maintains all its qualities indelible, while when it is used raw, it reveals its relish. It adds a different taste in salads and vegetables and it helps in the preparation of sauces of vinaigrette type.

It is also ideal for frying, as it resists high temperatures without having decays in its commendation.

Last but not least, the olive oil is used as a food preserver as well. (E.g. cheese, vegetables, fish).
