Centuries ago Plato called it liquid gold. Extra precious. Super delicious. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Or, as we commonly refer to it today: EVOO. EVOO, the purest of all olive oils as it's derived from the first press, originated in the heart of the Mediterranean. It has been made popular today by artful, health conscious, chefs, who use it to enhance recipes with its rich, smooth, flavor.

Long appreciated by the Mediterranean people, and a staple in their naturally heart-healthy diets, EVOO is rich in omega-9 fatty acids. These fatty acids are natural antioxidants, filled with heart-healthy monosaturated fatty acids which lower levels of LDL - bad cholesterol.
