Melrose Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Release your inner master chef with Melrose Kitchen Oils - your best guarantee of freshness, purity and quality. The importance of the essential fatty acids in vegetable oil demands nothing less. Melrose Fresh Unrefined Oils will impart extra aroma and flavor as well as nutritional benefits, just like any other whole food which has not been denatured or processed.

Good quality oils need to be expeller-pressed at temperatures below 45^oC and not solvent extracted. They should not be subjected to high heat temperatures, deodorizing, bleaching or alkali refining. Melrose Organic Unrefined oils are produced by pressing seeds at less than 40^oC. The oil is then bottled under nitrogen and packed in amber glass to reduce both photon and auto-oxidation preserving both the nutritional value and the fresh taste.

Melrose Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Melrose Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the top grade of olive oil. It is made from the first 'pressing' of good-quality olives. The oil is removed (extracted) by a traditional cold-pressing method, where no chemicals and only a small amount of heat are applied.

Olive oil is a major component of the 'Mediterranean diet'. Research shows that people living in Mediterranean regions have reduced risk for certain chronic diseases and longer life expectancy, compared with other groups of people in the world.

Olive oil contains high amounts of monounsaturated fat, a healthier type of fat that can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing the total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol levels in your blood.

In contrast, saturated and trans fats - such as butter, animal fats, tropical oils and partially hydrogenated oils - increase your risk of heart disease by increasing your total and LDL cholesterol levels.

Hints and Tips:

What is the best way to use Melrose Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Extra virgin olive oil is of the highest quality, made from the first 'pressing'. The pale, yellow-green oil is flavoursome, but the flavour is degraded when the oil is heated. It is therefore best-suited to salad dressings and marinades.
