Extra virgin olive oil and health

Heart health

EVOO is rich in monounsaturated fats and oleic acid, linked to lower LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular protection within a Mediterranean eating pattern.

Polyphenols and Picual

Polyphenols are natural antioxidants. Picual variety — grown in our Andalusian groves — tends to be especially high, showing as characteristic bitterness and pepper.

Cold extraction matters

Same-day harvest and cold extraction preserves polyphenols and vitamins. Hand harvest is central to our process at Balcón del Sur.
