Health Benefits of Verde Valley Olive Oil

Health Benefits of Verde Valley Olive Oil

It is the beginning of the New Year and one of the major resolutions people commit to is to eat healthier. While people don’t always think of oil when they think of healthy foods, they should when it comes to high-quality olive oil. Olive oil is one of the world’s healthiest oils and people tend to live longer and healthier lives in regions where a high-quality olive oil is a staple part of their diet.

Verde Valley Olive Oil is the highest quality olive oil available, extracted from the olive fruit without the use of any heat or chemicals. It is also available in many flavor profiles, so not only will it add health, but splendid hints of flavor to your food. Below are a few reasons you should be cooking your foods with olive oil in order to get healthier this year.

It is a Great Source of Antioxidants and Healthy Fats

Verde Valley Olive Oil is a rich source of antioxidants and monounsaturated fats, both of which are thought to protective of your cardiovascular health. Grocery store olive oil tends to be refined and stripped of important nutrients and antioxidants. In contrast, the natural extraction process used to produce Verde Valley Olive Oil ensures it retains all the nutrients and antioxidants from the olive fruit. The fat composition of Verde Valley Olive Oil also reflects how healthy it is. It’s primarily made up of monounsaturated fat, a heart-healthy fat that is a staple of the Mediterranean diet.

Cooking with It Makes Your Food More Nutritious

There are a lot of different cooking oils that claim to be the best to cook with. However, when you consider the major factors that influence how an oil reacts to high temperatures which are oxidative stability and ratio of monounsaturated fats then extra virgin olive oil is the most stable and has the healthiest fat profile. Verde Valley Olive Oil is also more practical for cooking because it comes in a variety of different flavor profiles and can complement both sweet and savory dishes.

Studies show that cooking with Verde Valley Olive Oil can even increase the nutrient content of your food. This is because the antioxidants in it are so resistant to high heat that they don’t break down and instead end up being absorbed by the cooked food. In addition, it also helps the cooked food to retain some nutrients that are usually lost through cooking.

Verde Valley Olive Oil Is The Best Quality
