| Romans were using the Picholine to make olive oil because of its unique flavor. A Touch of Provence® has found a producer that was willing to revive an ancient tradition and is proud to bring you a rare and unique olive oil that can be used at almost any range of temperature to enhance your favorite cold or hot recipes. For centuries Olive Oil has been a key contributor to good health to many civilizations; Greeks, Romans, and Europeans. In order to maintain all of its health benefits, Olive Oil has to be produced in a manner that will not damage its natural nutrients. Unfortunately modern Olive Oils are mass produced, processed and diluted in such ways that all nutrients essential to good health are lost in the process. On the other hand, when it is not refined and diluted, the Olive Oil is rich in vitamins, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and other beneficial ingredients to human health. Numerous studies show that olive oil reduces cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, inhibits platelet aggregation, and lowers the incidence of breast cancer. Because it is so rich in antioxidants, olive oil appears to dramatically reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, thereby preventing heart disease. As demand for Olive Oil increases across the globe, producers are forced to mass produce and come up with economical ways, and use centrifugation and hot water to separate the oil from the olive paste. The problem is that antioxidants like poly-phenols are water soluble and thus are washed away in the process. A Touch of Provence® Picholine Olive Oil is produced in a very small scale and in the old way in order to preserve all the nutrients and antioxidants necessary to our health. It is cold pressed, unfiltered and unrefined & guaranteed 100% natural. |
