Description

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the highest grade of olive oil, obtained from the first pressing of olives without the use of chemicals or excessive heat. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and other antioxidants, making it a mainstay of the Mediterranean diet and an evidence-based dietary component for promoting overall health.

Note on evidence

A substantial body of epidemiological and clinical trial evidence supports cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits with regular consumption of EVOO, particularly as part of the Mediterranean diet.

Supports cardiovascular health

Strong

EVOO consumption as part of a Mediterranean diet helps lower LDL cholesterol, improve blood vessel function, and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events.

Exhibits anti-inflammatory effects

Moderate

Oleocanthal and other polyphenols in EVOO have properties similar to some anti-inflammatory drugs, helping lower chronic inflammation.
