ARBEQUINA AND VERDIELL COUPAGE EARLY OLIVE OIL
Early harvest green extra virgin olive oil is a unique oil. Its price is higher because it is more complex and costly to obtain than an oil made from ripe olives.
In fact, to produce one liter of early olive oil requires about 12 kilos of olives, compared to normal extra virgin olive oil, which only requires about 4 kilos.
In addition, the poor harvest, due to weather conditions, has reduced the harvesting of olives and considerably increased their price.

Health benefits
It also contains polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, compounds that the body cannot synthesize naturally and that, therefore, we must incorporate with the diet. Some examples are linoleic acid (5%) and linolenic acid (1.5%). Both acids have anti-inflammatory, vasodilator and antiplatelet aggregation properties.
Vitamins
In a balanced Mediterranean diet, it is advisable to consume 50 grams of olive oil per day, with 80% of both vitamin E and vitamin K of the recommended daily amounts.
Vitamin E, mainly alpha-tocopherol, gives it a great antioxidant property, which favors vasodilation and helps to avoid arteriosclerosis problems.
Vitamin K helps increase bone density and plays an important role in preventing Alzheimer's disease, as it protects brain neurons.
It also has carotenoids, which act as a precursor of vitamin A, a major body antioxidant. The daily recommendations cover 10%.
Phytosterols
Phytosterols are cholesterol-like structures that help lower blood cholesterol levels. They are water-soluble and that is why refined oils contain a lower amount.
Polyphenols or phenolic compounds
Inhibit the oxidative process because they have a high antioxidant capacity. Refining systems drastically modify their content. The riper the olive is, the less antioxidants it will have.
Controls diabetes
It regulates insulin production and controls blood glucose levels. A diet rich in olive oil can reduce insulin needs in diabetic patients.
Digestive action
Olive oil decreases gastric secretion and facilitates intestinal transit. Recommended for people with constipation problems.
Slows down skin aging
Olive oil protects the dermis from the effects of free radicals, delaying skin aging. Vitamin A helps to maintain a good condition of tissues, such as skin and mucous membranes, so it is essential for eye health.
Infinitely recyclable metal packaging
On the one hand, the metal container is the only one that maintains the properties of the oil unalterable, from the moment of packaging until its final consumption.
On the other hand, metal is one of the most efficient materials to recycle, since it can be recycled over and over again without losing quality. In addition, the metal recycling process saves a great deal of energy compared to production from raw materials, which makes it even more sustainable.
Consequently, olive oil cans are the perfect packaging for this product and for the environment.
