Olive oil: the best dressing for health purposes
For 4,000 years, olive oil has served the Mediterranean cultures for almost everything: from money, or means of payment, to medicine. Nowadays, olive oil is being rediscovered by the whole world as the most versatile fruit juice ever pressed.
Olive oil has a unique position among vegetable oils because of its chemical composition, its health-promoting benefits and its taste characteristics. In fact, its composition is similar to human fat, which is why it is so easily digested by our organism as food - better than any other oil or fat.
Why is Olive Oil so important?
