Nutritional Value
Some of the nutrients in olive oil are listed on the bottles labels, but there is more to it. Comparing EOO to other oils according to the label only, does not paint the full picture of the health benefits provided by the nutrients in our extra virgin olive oil.
Studies now indicate that extra virgin olive oil may help to lower blood pressure. Patients were able to reduce or eliminate the need for medication when olive oil was consumed on a regular basis. Mr. Noureddine Ayed always reminds us that his grandfather lived to 107 years old and he was known for drinking a small cup of extra virgin olive oil that was extracted from his own farms throughout all his life.
The richness in vitamins E, K, and A as well polyphenols, and hundreds more micronutrients which are found in our olive oil make EOO a healthy choice. Our chetoui extra virgin olive oil has polyphenol level of 750 ppm (not commonly seen in other olive oils). This high richness of polyphenol in our olive oil is known to be anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anticoagulant. Antioxidants help to repair the damaged cell membranes cause by exposure to things like cigarette smoke, pollution, alcohol and radiation. The high level of polyphenol that is found in Eagle Olive Oil prevents one from many diseases.

Eagle Olive Oil is very precious oil, rich in chlorophyll, high levels of polyphenols, carotene, and vitamin A and D, making it a must to include to ones daily diet. It prevents from cancer, arteriosclerosis and myocardiacheart attacks and maintains the “good” cholesterol in the blood, while lowering the “bad” cholesterol. EOO corrects the metabolism of diabetics and consequently, it balances the diabetes rates. This oil ensures the good function of the intestine; it facilitates digestion and ensures the best immersion of calcium by the organism. A diet rich in EOO has been shown to reduce the incidence of colon, breast and skin cancer. Consuming at least 25ml of EOO may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease which is associated with the clogging of arteries caused by cholesterol and saturated fat. Replacing other fats with EOO will reduce the risk. EOO promotes the secretion of bile and pancreatic hormones naturally and lowers the incidence of gallstones. EOO is great for skin and hair care too, when used in natural remedies. Among other benefits, the vitamin A found in EOO helps prevent and minimize the development of skin wrinkles.
