World Earth Day (April 22)

This is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the world of the olive grove and its ecosystem. Wouldn't olive trees be the guardians of our planet for centuries?

Even more reasons to consume extra virgin olive oil... 😊:

Longevity of trees: olive trees (survive) for centuries, offering a sustainable source of oil without the need for annual replanting.

Biodiversity: Traditional olive groves are home to a mosaic of animal and plant species, creating oases of biodiversity in often threatened regions.

Drought resistance: olive trees are remarkably resistant to drought, ensuring the production of olive oil even in times of water shortage.

Minimal use of pesticides: thanks to their natural resistance, olive trees require little or no pesticides, thus favouring organic cultivation methods.

Carbon sequestration: Olive trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change.

Soil conservation: the roots of olive trees preserve soil fertility, thus combatting erosion and preserving the health of agricultural land.

Non-GMO: unlike other oils from genetically modified crops, extra virgin olive oil remains natural and unaltered. A pure extraction (juice) of the olive.

Economic sustainability: the production of olive oil supports rural economies and preserves family farming traditions.

Regeneration of deserts: olive trees, adapted to difficult conditions, are used to "green" deserts, thus contributing to the fight against desertification.

Natural extraction method: mechanical extraction of olive oil eliminates the use of chemical solvents, reducing pollution and health risks.

Let's celebrate Earth Day by honouring the olive tree, a symbol of resilience and sustainability. By choosing extra virgin olive oil, we preserve our planet for future generations.

And in addition it's so good! 😀
