You may know that extra virgin olive oil is largely made up of a macronutrient called lipid or fat, an element with a high concentration of calories as it is made up of 100% fat; more specifically: 9 calories for every gram consumed. Other nutrients such as carbohydrates or proteins account for only 4 calories for every gram consumed. These specific features are found in extra virgin olive oil when it does not contain impurities, which are removed during the production process at the oil filtering stage.

The Vallejo Picual variety extra virgin olive oil has been awarded the Silver Medal at the Zurich Olive Oil Awards 2021. This year, the awards have evaluated a total of 137 participants from 10 countries across the European Union. In this edition, a total of 41 Spanish oils took part.
Extra virgin olive oil offers a multitude of benefits for our body. This is partly due to polyphenols, a group of micronutrients present in most foods of plant origin, such as strawberries, nuts and wheat.
