Support cardiovascular health with Swanson Extra Virgin Olive Oil! Olive oil is one of the pillars supporting the healthful reputation of the world-renowned "Mediterranean Diet." The olive's impressive fatty acid profile and unique polyphenols could explain why studies link cardiovascular health with those who consume olive oil daily. Extra virgin olive oil, made from the first pressing, has the most concentrated levels of EFAs, antioxidant polyphenols and the beneficial compound, oleocanthal. Made with certified organic olive oil from the very first pressing of the ripe olive fruit. We use only minimal processing to preserve all the fragile components that can be so easily damaged by heat and light.
