Why Olio Salvo?
Health & Wellness: The Power of Polyphenols
Our extra virgin olive oil is naturally rich in polyphenols - powerful antioxidants that provide significant health benefits. Research (PubMed, AllRecipes) shows these compounds help:
- Reduce inflammation
- Lower cardiovascular disease risk
- Support brain health
- Fight oxidative stress
- Promote longevity
The Taggiasca olives we use are particularly rich in these beneficial compounds, making our oil not just a condiment, but a daily investment in your health.
