1. Where does olive oil come from?
The olive oil comes from the cold pressing of the fruit of the olive trees.
The olive is cultivated throughout the Mediterranean basin and even in Provence in France, but this local production is too insufficient to cover the French market which most often imports it from Spain, where it is produced in industrial quantities.
The biggest producers are:
- Spain
- Italy
- Greece
- Tunisia
- Algeria
2. A real natural remedy
A real pain reliever
Olive oil contains oleocanthal, a natural anti-inflammatory drug that resembles a natural ibuprofen.
Olive oil is therefore not only an edible oil, nor a care product for the skin and the hair, but a real medicinal remedy, which is ignored most of the time.
3. Nutrient intakes
Olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet.
Olive oil is very healthy!
It contains polyphenols which are antioxidants, and will help you fight cholesterol and low blood pressure.
4. Cosmetic care products
Skin care
Olive oil is known to be the best way to hydrate the skin because it contains a lot of vitamin E.
Hair care
For the same reasons, it is a very effective hair care product. It is used in exposure from 1 hour to 12 hours.
5. How to choose olive oil ?
Difficult to navigate in all the packaging which often does not say everything.
Choose a real olive oil !
Most olive oils today are not real because they are mixed with other oils that are not as healthy as soil oils.
How to choose olive oil :
Always check the mentions on the bottles.
- cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
- fresh press and cold press
- Choose dark or opaque bottles because olive oil does not like light.
- in any case, you will recognize it by its strong smell
