The quality of Verde Salud is in writing (white on black) on the bottle If you choose ‘extra virgin' olive oil, you know you're getting the best quality olive oil money can buy. Extra virgin olive oils have, by law, to meet specific Euro-wide criteria. However, the qualities of two extra virgin brands can be as different as chalk and cheese! Foe example, Verde Salud contains 4 times less free fatty acids (acidity), is 3 times less oxidized and contains 5 times as less wax as the European quality limits for extra virgin. In addition to this, Verde Salud contains a lot of vitamin E for a good circulation, cholesterol-reducing plant sterols, vasoprotective polyphenols, heart-protective squalene and heart-strengthening Co-Q10, revitalizing chlorophyll and lecithin for improved cognitive function. Furthermore, Verde Salud contains at least 77% monounsaturated fatty acids and is exclusively obtained by a mechanical first cold pressing at max. 27 °C.

Poorer quality extra virgins won't tolerate temperatures above 135 °C. Many people think that extra virgin shouldn't be used for shallow- or wok-frying. But that's not true. For one thing, you can only achieve a delicious meal if you use tasty ingredients. And, for another, ordinary olive oil (i.e. refined olive oil) contains a lot more "bad" free fatty acids and wax while having very little (or no) healthy nutrients. In other words, it contains more "bad" things than "good". So insist on extra virgin olive oils. They come distinctively packed in dark green bottles (as air, heat, and light will cause olive oil to turn rancid).
