for its health effects is called the “prince of the Mediterranean diet,”
recognized as a UNESCO heritage site, Palazzo di Varignana extra virgin olive
oil is the ideal food from the weaning of children because of its lipid
balance, making it similar to breast milk. The high presence of oleic acid and
omega 3 and omega 6 series fatty acids, allies of cardiovascular health, and
phenolic compounds, vitamin E and carotenoids, valuable antioxidants, make it
valuable for health. What really makes an excellent extra virgin olive oil like
