Wellness & Health
Why is Our Olive Oil Different?
The Mediterranean diet is a proven recipe for wellness, with olive oil as its cornerstone. High-quality organic olive oil is a true superfood, offering unparalleled health benefits.
Used for millennia in Mediterranean cultures, olive oil is scientifically recognized for promoting optimal health. At Olea Prilis, we have redefined olive oil, bringing you the potent and healing properties of high-phenolic organic olive oil, crafted for both wellness and culinary delight.
Why do we need oil in our diet?
In recent decades, our understanding of dietary fats has evolved. We now know that they are essential for overall health, serving key functions in the body:
- Energy Source: A concentrated source of fuel.
- Nutrient Absorption: Required for fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).
- Cell Structure: Integral to cell membranes.
- Brain Health: Omega-3 fatty acids support brain function and development.
- Hormone Production: Essential for growth, metabolism, and development.
- Organ Protection: Fat cushions vital organs.
- Temperature Regulation: Helps maintain body warmth.
- Flavor & Satiety: Enhances food and promotes fullness, regulating intake.
