DESCRIPTION – Olive oil is pressed from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea), a traditional Mediterranean crop. This grade is a Spanish olive oil with very low free acidity (0.2% as oleic acid) and a sterol profile dominated by β-sitosterol, making it a stable, mild carrier oil for cosmetics, soaps, massage oils and pharmaceutical preparations.
