Olive oil is the secret of longevity of Greeks since ancient times. Besides others, olive oil was used in antiquity for skin diseases. According to Homer, olive oil is a miraculous source of nutrients for man and he described it as "wet gold."
The beneficial effects of olive oil on health are due to the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, but also to the high content of antioxidants.
Studies have shown that olive oil protects the heart by controlling and lowering levels of "bad" cholesterol while raising the levels of "good" (HDL) cholesterol.
