O L iVe
Our brand O L V, takes it's name from the fruit olive. We provide always %100 real extra virgin olive oil to our customers worlwide.The best olive oil is made of a mixture of olives which are "cold pressed." (The oil is extracted from an application of pressure -- no chemicals are involved.) Olive oil made by the cold-pressing method is lower in acidity, probably the most important measure of olive oil quality. Of course, the color, flavor, and aroma are important, too. As far as prices are concerned, in very general terms, expensive olive oils tend to be more flavorful. We'd advise against buying large bottles (or cans) of olive oil -- once open, you should only keep olive oil for about six months. Store it in an airtight container. Incidentally, recent research suggests that in addition to protection against heart disease and cancer, using olive oil regularly as part of a low-fat diet can help control blood pressure. A study published in the November 1999 issue of the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that people who consume the highest quantities of olive oil -- are less likely than others to develop rheumatoid arthritis. |
