Health benefits of organic EVOO

EVOO is highly recommended for the benefits it brings to people, both internally and externally.

One of its benefits is its anti-aging effect that comes from the vitamin E, naturally present in the olive oil, and helps boost skin elasticity while protecting it from UV lights. Besides, hydroxytyrosol, one of its components,prevents further damage to the dermis.

This gold liquid, at the heart of the Mediterranean diet, is also anti-inflammatory owing to the oleocanthal, a compound that gives the characteristic spiciness of this very pure oil. Among its other properties, those essential to address health stand out, such as those preventive cardiovascular pathologies. Olive oil’s fatty acids and antioxidants regulate cholesterol in the blood.
The benefits of consuming the oil are such that experts recommend a daily intake of at least four tablespoons on an empty stomach. In addition, this type of condiment improves glucose levels, controls blood pressure, and, therefore, reduces the chances of suffering diseases such as diabetes.

In addition, oleylethanolamide, a component synthesised in the intestine and causes a feeling of satiety, helps speed up the slimming process.

EVOO’s nutritional value

>Organic EVOO has its own characteristics that differentiate it from other olive oils, especially with regard to the nutritional and caloric value it provides to the body.

Macronutrients

EVOO has macronutrients such as fats or lipids and is high in calories. These fats are unsaturated, so they are beneficial to the diet as they provide a high nutritional value. These macronutrients allow the absorption of vitamins and minerals while providing the necessary energy to the body.

Micronutrients

This unrefined fatty liquid also has micronutrients, which supply great amount of vitamins for the body. These vitamins are fat-soluble, and among them are mainly carotenes or vitamin A, as well as vitamin E (tocopherol), known for its high antioxidant power.

In addition, it does not lack compounds such as polyphenols or phytosterols>. These act by providing not only great nutritional value and energy intake but are also undoubtedly beneficial to health, especially when the olive juice consumed is eco-labeled.

Besides, consuming <strongnatural, organic, and vegetable supplements is recommended to complement the diet and exercise routine. The prebiotic fiber-rich in antioxidants provides not only micronutrients such as polyphenols but also iron, fiber, and protein.

Calories

The caloric intake of this type of oil is beneficial since the fats present in this liquid are healthy and contribute to the absorption of other compounds, which help with weight loss. Each tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, equivalent to about 15 grams, corresponds to 115 calories. That is, every 100 grams would be ingesting about 884 calories.

Types of organic extra virgin olive oils

Organic virgin oil is characterized by a 100% ecological process, which ensures that the properties of the olive are kept intact. There can be two types: without pitting or performing the pitting of the olive, which prevents oxidation, and adding water during the oil extraction. The chemical-free and fertilizer-free process helps to protect natural resources.

There are different types of olive oils, which will depend on the variety of olive from which they are made. To classify a good olive juice as organic, it is necessary, first and foremost, an exhaustive search for the best varieties with the healthiest properties, as well as to ensure the best time of harvesting of the olive.
In Spain, there are more than 200 varieties of olives, among the most common are:

  • Arbequina
  • Hojiblanca
  • Picual
  • Cornicabra
  • Picudo
  • Royal
  • Sevillenca
  • Blanqueta
  • Alfafara
  • Morisca

For an EVOO to be 100% organic, it must have the corresponding certification according to European regulations and meet a series of requirements. In addition, the method of oil extraction will also mark the difference between one and the other types. There are two types of extraction, which can be cold, as is done in ECOPROLIVE, and which ensures to preserve of all the beneficial properties of this seasoning at its optimum, as well as its characteristic flavor and aroma.

Differences with conventional oil

The main differences between conventional oil and organic EVOO are:

  • Respect for the environment: the non-use of chemicals reduces the negative impacts on the environment and enhances its natural manufacturing process.
  • Properties: the latter will always possess more nutrients and beneficial properties since they are not diminished by the use of chemicals and artificial fertilizers.
  • Oxidation: the high levels of polyphenols present in organic EVOO provide greater oxidation resistance.
  • Fertilizer: conventional olive oils use synthetic fertilizers, compared to organic fertilizers of animal origin, such as compost or manure, which are used by the biotype.
