Choose wellness, choose extra virgin

Extra virgin olive oil contains oleic acid and vitamins A and E. These elements help to prevent the development of free radicals in the early stages, protecting the cell from oxidative damage and, therefore, premature aging. Associated with phytosterols (plant-derived substances that contribute to lowering the rate of bad cholesterol), it plays an important role in the prevention of chronic conditions such as degenerative diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. Finally, the oleocanthal present in the oil has anti-inflammatory effect.
