In addition to its advantages of being organic, the consumption of virgin olive oil is highly beneficial for human health. Considered by scientists as a sort of elixir, it is the rising star of table oils. It is a pure, unrefined product, rich in oleic acid -a monosaturated fatty acid that contributes to the reduction of total cholesterol at the expense of a drop in "bad" (LDL) cholesterol. At the same time, its antioxidant factors favor the processes of digestion and bone mineralization. "SAN NICOLÁS" ORGANIC VIRGIN OLIVE OIL by virtue of its purity, nutritional value, excellent taste and maximum spreadibility all make this product a real breakthrough for health conscious and discerning consumers. |

Not only should they be considered as an ornament on dishes but also as food whose nutrients benefit our body. As it is of vegetable origin this fat-rich fruit does not contain cholesterol and, like olive oil, provides oleic acid, a monosaturated fatty acid that is beneficial to the arteries. Although its fat content has a higher energy value than other fruits, it is small and does not provide a significant amount of calories per unit: just 5.1 calories per green olive in brine of the "SAN NICOLÁS" Giant Manzanilla variety. These special olives also contain substantial amounts of calcium, fiber and vitamin A, all important nutrients for human health that must be taken daily. |
