The Mediterranean diet in your spoon !

Mediterranean diet in your spoon: why adopt our organic Picual 18:1 olive oil every day?

The Mediterranean diet is now recognized as one of the most appreciated dietary models for its balance and simplicity. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, nuts… and above all, a central place given to extra virgin olive oil.

More than just a condiment, it has been the main fat source in Mediterranean countries for centuries and naturally accompanies a varied and convivial diet.

A simple daily habit

In Spain, Greece, or southern Italy, it is not uncommon to start the day with a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil or a slice of bread generously drizzled with fresh oil.

This ritual is now attracting more and more people who want to bring greater naturalness into their diet.

One tablespoon represents about 15 ml of olive oil and is an easy way to benefit from its nutritional qualities.

A natural richness in monounsaturated fatty acids

Olive oil is mainly composed of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid (omega-9) that makes its reputation.

As part of a balanced diet, replacing certain saturated fats with monounsaturated fats helps maintain a favorable lipid profile.

This is one of the pillars of the Mediterranean diet.

Polyphenols: the natural antioxidants in olive oil

Not all olive oils are the same.

Some varieties, harvested early, have a very high polyphenol content, naturally antioxidant plant compounds.

Our extra virgin olive oil Picual 18:1 stands out precisely for its very high polyphenol content, reflecting an early harvest and a variety known for its aromatic intensity.

These polyphenols help protect cells against oxidative stress, while also providing a slight bitterness and character that appeals to lovers of exceptional olive oils.

An ally for digestive comfort

When integrated daily into a balanced diet, olive oil is also appreciated for its beneficial effect on digestive comfort and intestinal transit in many people.

Its high-quality lipid composition fits perfectly into a diet inspired by Mediterranean traditions, where minimally processed foods play a key role.

An oil that also enhances your cooking

Beyond its nutritional qualities, a characterful extra virgin olive oil transforms the simplest recipes.

A few tomatoes, burrata, grilled vegetables, a slice of country bread, or just-cooked fish take on a whole new dimension when enhanced with a flavorful oil.

The Picual variety offers vegetal notes of green fruit, fresh grass, and a long finish that makes it a reference among gastronomy enthusiasts.

The 18:1 ritual

What if the first gesture of your day was also the simplest?

A tablespoon of Picual 18:1, on an empty stomach or at breakfast, makes it easy to incorporate the benefits of extra virgin olive oil into your daily routine.

Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and featuring a very high polyphenol content, it fully embodies the spirit of the Mediterranean diet: simple, authentic eating focused on well-being.

Because taking care of yourself often starts with simple gestures… and with choosing an exceptional olive oil.

The benefits mentioned are part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Olive oil is not a medicine and does not replace medical treatment.
