Spicy Olive Ultrs Premium oliv eoils

Fresh Olive Oils from Northern Hemisphere are at The Spicy Olive!! January 13, 2021

The Spicy Olive is committed to the freshness of our olive oils. We educate our customers on the health benefits contained in olive oil, properties that lower blood pressure and cholesterol and fight inflammation in your body as well as anti-oxidants that fight free radicals . These agents in olive oil, called biophenols, are most active in fresh, newly pressed olive oil. That is why The Spicy Olive offers olive oils from both hemispheres in a year, Northern Hemisphere olive oils are harvested in November and December so they are arriving at our stores now. We will switch to the Southern Hemisphere after they are harvested in May and June 2021. They will arrive in late summer 2021. We do this so that the health impacting agents in our olive oils are active and also fresh olive oil tastes better too!

The article linked below talks about our supplier Veronica Foods and their commitment to fresh, healthy olive oils. It also talks about our Ultra Premium olive oils which are the oils sold at The Spicy Olive. They are the highest quality olive oils available and Veronica Foods is committed to delivering that superlative olive oil to the stores they supply.

Healthy Eating in The New Year

Happy New Year! If you are looking to begin the New Year with healthy eating, the Italians have habits that you would be wise to adopt! Here is an article from Apple News on the things that Italians do that we should imitate. Of course, my favorite one is making olive oil the healthy fat in your diet! In January and February, the newly crushed, fresh olive oils (from the Northern Hemisphere) will be arriving at The Spicy Olive. The first ones to arrive are from Spain, California and Greece. Fresh olive oils are full of active biophenols that impart many health benefits such as fighting inflammation naturally, high amounts of antioxidant vitamins, and cancer fighting agents. Fresh olive oils also lower bad cholesterol levels and raise good cholesterol and also lower blood pressure. Here is the link to the article and be sure to stop into The Spicy Olive to see the difference fresh olive oil can make for your health and also for your taste buds!
