DESCRIPTION
Extra Virgin Olive oil is a premium grade of olive oil taken from the first pressing of the fruit. It has a rich green colour and strong olive fragrance.
Olive oils are high in Oleic acid - in fact, the fatty acid is named after the olive, a monounsaturated fatty acid. This makes it fantastic for moisturising and restoring the skin and hair but also means the oil is relatively stable.
