Olive oil

Olives are notable for their oil content. The best quality oil is self-flowing, which drains spontaneously during storage in barrels. However, it is most often obtained by cold pressing with moderate pressure.

Olive oil not only has beneficial effects in the kitchen, but also in cosmetics. It is anti-inflammatory, slightly antimicrobial and most of all antioxidant. It gives the skin intensive care, protects it from the effects of free radicals, increases its elasticity and strengthens the tissue. Olive oil is effective for treating small wounds and acne, and regenerates, softens and soothes the skin.
