THE HEALTHY FUTURE DEPENDS ON MEDITERRANEAN DIET
FROM NEUROLOGY

The traditional Mediterranean diet (MeDi) is a dietary pattern characterized by high consumption of plant foods, high intake of olive oil as a principal source of fat (monounsaturated), low intake of saturated fat with limited consumption of meat and dairy products, and moderate intake of fish and alcohol.4 Notably, high adherence to MeDi has been associated with longer survival, lower risk of cardiovascular or cancer mortality, and a lower likelihood of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer disease or cognitive impairment.
RESULTS:
A total of 105,614 participants were eligible and included in the final analytic cohort (mean age 52.5 ± 13.8 years). Over the follow-up period (average follow-up time was 20.5 years), there were 4,083 incident stroke events (3,358 ischemic; 725 hemorrhagic). In fully adjusted models for all stroke, ischemic, and hemorrhagic subtypes, there was a lower risk of stroke among those with MeDi scores of 6–9 compared with those with scores of 0–2 (all stroke HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.74–0.92; ischemic HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.75–0.95; hemorrhagic HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.58–0.97).

HEALTH CLAIM IN EVOO LABELS. A PRIVILEDGE OF FEW FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.

In this very professional paper from Nutrients, you can find the scientific proof of the polyphenols health claim that we include in the Olivottoil label.
Producing EVOO that meets the threshold set up by EFSA of 5mg/20gr is a big challenge that the market does not value yet.
Therefore very few producers dare to include it in the label as we do since we started.
We are convinced that this is the FUTURE OF FOOD : stay healthy to avoid curing the illness.

Background/Objectives: Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Polyphenols found in polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) have been shown to possess strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective properties. The present study aimed t...

THE FIRST OLIVOTTOIL 2026 EDITION SPILL IS HERE !!!

What an increbible smell in my nose and taste in my mouth

We are super lucky to live close to the Corato / Andria area which is the world capital of the top olive tree : CORATINA.
This year the first spill comes exactly from Coratina olives.
I've not seen any other human field where, there is such a distance between number one and number two.
Coratina beats them all in all the dimensions : fruity, healthy, climate change tollerance, oli stability and yield.
Thank you Corato' s people and God for making this miracle true every year !!!!

But, but the millennial threat Xylella is also threatening Coratina.
FINGER CROSSED !!!

SUPERIORITY OF APULIA'S EVOO

The three Apulia EVOO are COR for Coratina, PER for Peranzana and BC for Bella di Cerignola.
The other EVOO are from Spain and from Marche Region (Italy)
The top table is the organoleptic (the taste) expressed with the three attributes : fruitness, bitterness and pungency. The highest the better.
The bottom table is the healthy attribute of EVOO with the three top polyphenols. The highest the better.

SPAIN AND ITALY: TWO DIFFERENT WAYS OF CONCEIVING OLIVE OIL

Italy and Spain were at the same level in terms of oil production about 30 years ago, then Spain became dominant and last year produced six times as much as Italy.
According to modern mercantilist culture, Spain has overwhelmingly outperformed Italy. 99% of people in the sector think this way.
I am part of the 1% who think differently.
These quantitative results are achieved, in such a short time, only at the expense of quality.
The first HANDBOOK on olive oil production, ever written in the world, states this clearly. An Italian, Giovanni Presta, wrote in the subtitle in 1700:

"Either the primary goal is the greatest possible perfection, or the greatest possible quantity of the same"

"O si riguardi , di primo scopo, la massima possibile perfezione, o si riguardi la massima possibile quantità del medesimo"

SPAIN FOR QUANTITY AND ITALY FOR QUALITY.
Quality includes: flavor, health, longevity, and well-being, sustainability.
