OLIVE
Olea europaea
The highest quality of olive oil is Extra Virgin – this is the oil that is collected from the first pressing of the hard, unripe olives – and it’s what we use in our products.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is heavy and rich with a darkish yellow-green colour and a fruity, peppery aroma.
Olive Oil has long been recognised as a multi-talking, beauty super-food – the Egyptians used it as a head and hair treatment and it was a valuable medicine
in the hands of Greek doctors, Hippocrates mentions 60 different conditions that can be treated with it!
Even the infamous Greek poet, Homer, described this amazing base for our products as ‘liquid gold’ – so it must be good!
