Valencian Oil Outhealthies the Rest

If Shakespeare was allowed to invent 1,500 words without even being able to spell his own name, then I claim ‘to outhealthy’ as a legitimate English verb.

Nonsense aside, Valencian olive oil has driven the Americans and Greeks into second and third places respectively and earned the garland of Best healthy olive oil at the WORLD BEST HEALTHY EVOO CONTEST, held in the USA at the beginning of 2018, beating over 40 international competitors.

Oli Oli, near Requena, is a family business that has sought to answer the growing demand for healthy, sustainable food and farming.

They provide product traceability from the tree to the bottle, while a close follow-up of olives, and other similar key concepts are at the core of their quality olive oil, which is nutritional, tasty and rich, shines with golden green hues and strikes a nice balance between bitter, pungent and fruity notes.

Extra virgin olive oil plays a major role in your being in good health. In fact, extra virgin olive oil is a natural juice with non-fat micro-components like vitamins and phenolic compounds. Olive oil has heart-healthy fats and antioxidants, inhibiting the oxidation of cells. As a result, it has lots of benefits for your health:

So, does all that mean ecological olive oil is good for you?

Read on: it lowers cholesterol levels, reduces the risk of heart attack, stimulates bile secretion and is easily absorbed in the intestine, decreases the probability of arterial thrombosis, decreases stomach acid and optimises bowel transit, boosts the metabolism, offers effective protection against stomach ulcer and gastritis, stimulates bone growth, calcium absorption and mineralisation, and bone mineralisation, helps delay the ageing processes and prevents some types of cancer.

So, what have you been slinging on your salad until now?

In addition, extra virgin olive oil has relaxing effects and cosmetic applications.

Of course we are talking about extra virgin olive oil, taken from the first pressing, not the cheap stuff.

The ecological label guarantees that it contains neither synthetic chemical products like herbicides or pesticides nor their residues, which means you can be sure it DOESN’T contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which alter human and animal endocrine systems, interfering with these systems and producing adverse health effects.

It also contains tocopherols (vitamin E) and monounsaturated fats that inhibit LDL cholesterol oxidation, thus preventing atherosclerosis, that is, the he build-up of fatty deposits in the walls of the arteries.

I didn’t understand any of that, but I’m assured that it helps with skin rashes in babies and adults, and I’ve always wanted to have skin like a baby’s bottom.

So, if you can’t be bothered to make the trip to San Antonio de Requena to buy a few crates, you could buy it on-line on their English-friendly web site:
