Organic Olive Oil
Growing olives and harvesting the oil is a tradition that is thousands of years old. Little has changed in the process over the years. A diet rich in olive oil can be healthy and delicious. This is because olive oil is largely made up of monounsaturated fats and is a wonderful source of crucial vitamins.
To get the fullest health benefits from your olive oil, you want it to be both extra-virgin olive oil and organic. Olives are fruit that grow on trees. In order to claim that they are grown organically, the olives have to be grown free of herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. Most people select organic olive oil to ensure that it is free of chemicals and potentially harmful compounds. At The Posh Gourmet, we bring you the finest organic extra-virgin olive oils. You won't have to worry about quality because we strive to bring you only the best.
Organic olive oil is also the top choice for skin and beauty treatments. The oil can help improve the look of cuticles and fingernails, soften skin, and soothe chapped lips. It's the top choice for a home hot oil hair treatments, leaving hair lustrous and soft.
California growers strive to produce organic olive oils in the Tuscan style, which is not always an easy task due to the high costs of land and production. However, over the past 15 years, California olive production is up and pesticide use has declined. The result is smooth, flavorful olive oils with hints of fruit and peppery notes. The Posh Gourmet is delighted to support Napa growers by bringing you their fabulous organic oils. You'll find them on our website at PoshGourmet.com.
