WHAT IS EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

100% juice of fresh olives

A bottle of Red Island Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 100% natural. Every drop inside comes from the freshest, top quality olives grown on Australian groves by Australian farmers. For the best and freshest flavour, we cold press without using any heat chemicals.

Not only does our Extra Virgin Olive Oil taste better and fresher this way, it's healthier too, ensuring it retains more helpful antioxidants and healthy unsaturated fats.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Adding EVOO to your diet

• Anti-inflammatory - EVOO contains several components that can slow down inflammation, including oleocanthal (unique to EVOO) which has a similar affect to ibuprofen.
• Heart health - EVOO contains a unique combination of mono-unsaturated fats (i.e. oleic acid) and antioxidants which have been proven to increase 'good' cholesterol, reduce 'bad' cholesterol and reduce blood pressure.
• Anti-ageing - EVOO contains high levels of polyphenols, vitamin E, squalene and other antioxidants. These work together to offset free radicals and help counter the effects of cell ageing.
• Weight control - The Mediterranean dietary pattern, which includes EVOO as the dominant oil, has been associated with a lower Body Mass Index (BMI) and reduced levels of obesity.

WITH SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM

How do you choose a good EVOO

2. Ensure it is labelled with "Extra Virgin"
3. Check your oil is certified by the Australian Olive Association (AOA).
4. Look for the harvest date on the front/side of pack to ensure you are buying freshest/heathiest oil
