Extra virgin olive oil is at the core of the Mediterranean Diet: indeed, it’s used in this type of nutrition as seasoning fat.
Olive oil, because of its composition, carries out a protective action on arteries, stomach and liver. Combined with the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, it improves its beneficial effects.
