Extra Virgin, Cold-Pressed, Organic, Peruvian, Botija Olive Oil

We need fats in our diet to lubricate our joints, to aid digestion, and for healthy skin and brain function. Then why are diets high in fat considered so dangerous?

The difference is in the type of fats that are consumed. Diets high in saturated fats (animal fats) can have devastating effects on health, and are related to heart disease, stroke and cancers.

Olive oil, on the other hand, contains monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial to our health and can actually help reverse the damage done by saturated fats.Consider the renowned health of many Mediterranean peoples.Greeks consume high quantities of fats, but the majority are plant-based fats, such as those in olive oil.

But the process for our Extra Virgin Botija Olive Oil never exceeds 70 degrees Fahrenheit and contains 100% pure olive oil.
