THE GOODNESS

OF EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

The health promoting qualities of olive oil are well recorded through history. For centuries, experts have advocated the consumption of olive oil in preference to other edible oils.

 Even Hippocrates, known as the father of Medicine, repeatedly referred to the beneficial attributes of olive oil to health in general, calling it "the great therapeutic."

Olive oil is recognized as important in maintaining metabolism and contributes to the development of the brain and bones in children. It is also recommended as a source of Vitamin E and contains natural anti-oxidants. It is even said to slow down the ageing process!

The most significant health benefits come from Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Research shows that it helps reduce the production of bad cholesterols, alleviates digestive problems and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer

Whilst the health benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil offer a compelling reason to use it every day, at Pukara Estate we believe there's another reason why you should only ever use Extra Virgin Olive Oil
