Early Harvest Olive Oil: A Potent Defense

Early harvest extra virgin olive oil is pressed from olives picked while still green. This results in:

- Higher levels of polyphenols — over 500 plant-based antioxidants that protect cells

- Stronger anti-inflammatory effects

- A bold, peppery flavor — perfect for drizzling over fresh vegetables, salads, and grilled meats

What Does "Cold-Pressed" Mean?

Cold-pressed olive oil is extracted without heat or chemicals, preserving the oil’s natural nutrients, flavours, and aroma.

- No heat: Protects delicate compounds like polyphenols, vitamins, and antioxidants

- No refining: Ensures the oil stays pure and unaltered

- Better for you: Offers the highest levels of health benefits and the richest taste
