Due to a growing global interest with regards to healthy eating issues over the past decade, there has been numerous research undertaken, and a constant flow of information being published, promoting the benefits of Olive oil to our health.

Olive oil, unlike animal fats, does not contain any cholesterol and is made up of 70 – 80% of unsaturated fats, mainly monounsaturates (the good fats).

Research has suggested that monounsaturated fats help to protect against the risk of heart disease, especially the blocking of arteries, and the prevention of many cancers including breast and colon cancer.
