Virgin Olive Oil
Virgin olive oil: obtained directly from the ripe fruit by mechanical procedures. It is the only consumed raw without the use of any solvents, so it keeps all its properties intact. Olive oil has excellent antioxidants such as polyphenols and vitamin E, which are lost if the oil is subjected to refining processes.
