Olive oil and health

Since a study in the 1950’s that linked the extraordinary low incidence of death from coronary disease with the high consumption of olive oil on the Greek island of Crete, medical research has proven the positive health benefits of regular consumption of olive oil—a survey in 1996 showed that Cretans consumed 31 litres of olive oil each per year.

Olive oil contains a large range of natural antioxidants which can help protect against heart and blood vessel disease, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and some cancers.
And, wonderfully, it also tastes delicious!
