"The oil from the Koroneiki olive
oil variety is the richest in Greece in substances with health
protective action."
It is no coincidence that the olive oil with greatest recognition
globally is the one of the Koroneiki olive
variety. The
olive oil is the main component of the Mediterranean diet and it is

content of monounsaturated fat.The monounsaturated fats in the diet
have been linked to the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular
system.Moreover,
the olive oil is rich in Vitamins A, B, C, D and E and contains the
right amount of antioxidants needed by the human body for the
prevention of chronic diseases and the retardation of aging.
Olive oil contains more than **0 substances called "polyphenols."
These substances exert a strong antioxidant effect and protect the
fat of acute LDL-cholesterol from oxidation by helping the

proliferation of cells, that is to say cancer.
