Unlike most fruits, olives are low in carbohydrates and high in fat. Despite being high in calories, they are indispensable for the proper functioning of the body and help prevent many diseases.
Fats
Olive oil contains mainly oleic acid (73%), a monounsaturated fatty acid that reduces LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol levels. This has an antiplatelet and antihypertensive effect.
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.

2. Crop rotation: Crop rotation is practiced to improve soil health and prevent erosion.
3. Conservation of natural resources: Responsible management of soil, water and biodiversity is promoted to maintain an ecological balance.
4. Use of organic practices: BIOS SUSTAINABLE agriculture often incorporates organic practices that avoid the use of synthetic chemicals and rely on natural methods to improve soil quality and plant health.
5. Promotion of biodiversity: Preservation and promotion of species diversity is encouraged, which can help control pests and diseases naturally.
6. Social responsibility: The welfare of farm workers is considered and ethical production practices are promoted.
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.
