Wood pressed Olive Oil
Wood pressed olive oil is extracted from olives using a mechanical process that involves crushing the olives into a paste and then pressing them to extract the oil, all without the use of excessive heat. This method helps retain the oil's natural flavors, nutrients, and antioxidants. It is made up of monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which is associated with potential heart health benefits. It also contains antioxidants, such as vitamin E, and other beneficial plant compounds.
