Heart Healthy

While all types of olive oil are sources of monounsaturated fat, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, from the cold extraction of the olives, contains higher levels of antioxidants, high concentration of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), and phenols, because it is less processed. High quality Extra Virgin olive oil aids in neutralizing free radicals and diminishes the risk of many types of diseases and strengthens our immune system.

Olive Oil is the greatest exponent of monounsaturated fat (MUFA) and is a prime component of the heart healthy diet. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that are resistant to oxidation and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol without affecting HDL (good) cholesterol, which protects against arteriosclerosis.

Born out of Ancient Greece

This olive oil is produced at source in Greece, where the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula meets the Mediterranean Sea. Olives in this fertile region have been growing since Minoan times and continue to be an important part of the culture and cuisine of the region.

Olive oil became a principal product of the Minoan civilization, where it is thought to have represented wealth. The cultivation of olive trees play an important role in the economy, as it did across the Mediterranean region.

Today, Olive Oil is commonly used in cooking, whether for frying or as a salad dressing. It is also used now used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and soaps. With our rich History we are proud that Pellas Nature is at the forefront of the olive oil Extraction and Flavoring process.

Fake or Real?

But how can you tell if your olive oil is fake or not? Does the fridge test really work? What about the oil lamp test? The North American Olive Oil Association called the home test “completely false and misleading.” Almost any oil will solidify at cold temperatures, depending on its chemical compounds, and even within the EVOO category, factors such as origin, olive variety and time of harvest, will affect solidification.

Even an EVOO that has been adulterated with a bit of canola oil will solidify in the refrigerator and pass the test, even though it is not pure EVOO.

There’s only one sure-fire way to know if your olive oil is real, and that is to know where your olive oil comes from!

Know your EVOO

Our mill and bottling plant are certified for oil production and are proudly a plasticizer-free and carbon neutral factory. A plasticizer is a substance (typically a solvent) added to a synthetic resin to promote plasticity, flexibility, and reduce brittleness. In many factories around the world, plasticizers can be found in plastic tubes and equipment; however, medical research has shown plasticizers to be highly carcinogenic.

No plastic materials ever come in contact with our olive oil as it could contaminate the oil. We recommend to our consumers that they never purchase olive oil in plastic containers.

Our goal is to produce the highest quality Non-GMO, BPA Free products nature can provide, improving the health and well-being of consumers
