Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The process of making olive oil includes grinding olives and extracting the oil by mechanical or chemical process. At Food for Health (FfH) we are aware of how important it is to use the mechanical mean. Additionally, we also pick our olives when they are green, we pick them gently by hand to prevent bruises and take care of birds and the environment. Consequently, we keep the taste quality as high and nutritious as possible.
Organic
Looking at our growing process, FfH takes care of our environment and our health. That’s the reason we don’t use pesticides and fungicides which damage it. At FfH we show gratitude to our planet and do grow organic olives to produce organic olive oil without harming our nature. Furthermore, it is proven that organically grown food is higher in Vitamin C, minerals, and bioactive substances.*3
Evoo
Evoo means the production from the first milling of the olive fruit and by extracting the oil while maintaining a temperature of less than 27°C through strictly mechanical means.
Cold Pressed
At FfH we are pretty conscious about the process from growing organically to extracting olive oil through cold-pressed mechanisms to its fullest fruitiness and highest nutrition. That’s the reason we produce cold-pressed organic olive oil. We use a state-of-the-art extra cold extraction with only a 7°C process. We obtain the highest amount of antioxidants while minimizing oxidation.

Beneficial Virgin Olive Oil everywhere
In the kitchen of course. Raw or cooked, both are of enormous benefit. Even making a cake with olive oil is not even possible then delicious and nutritious. The smoke point of olive oil is mostly overthought. Hence it’s classified as medium-high. That’s higher than the smoke point of either butter or coconut oil.
As a special recommendation try olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice for your salad dressing – so yummy in our tummy.
