California Olive Oil There is nothing better than California Extra Virgin olive oil for its nutritional and culinary virtues. It is a delicious addition to any cuisine and a must for a healthy diet. Extra virgin olive oil is the most digestible of the edible fats: it helps to assimilate vitamins A, D and K; it contains essential acids that cannot be produced by our own bodies; and it helps liver and intestinal functions. Olive oil is important in the prevention of heart disease due to its high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids, compounds that decrease levels of LDL cholesterol (the type that causes plaque build-up in arteries) and increase levels of protective HDL cholesterol.

California Dried Olives Olives are a good source of monounsaturated fat. There are only two grams of fat in a 15 gram serving, with the majority of fat coming from monounsaturates and part of the remaining fats being essential fatty acids. One serving contains only three percent of your total fat intake for the day. Contrary to what you may think, olives are not high in calories. In fact, an extra large Black Olive has only seven calories - and a serving equal to only 25 calories! This makes olives an ideal snack or ingredient for adding flavor and variety to the lower fat meals you prepare.
