egregio is more than a pretty bottle
We love our slim lines, but what sets us apart is on the inside. egregio
is some of the finest extra virgin olive oil on the market today and its uses extend well beyond the kitchen. Among other things, extra virgin olive oil has a long history of being used as a healthful home remedy and for skincare.
Since the pharaonic times, Egyptians used it as a cleanser, moisturizer, and antibacterial agent. In ancient Greece, olive oil was used during massage, to prevent sports injuries, relieve muscle fatigue, and eliminate lactic acid buildup. Japan is one of the biggest importers of olive oil in Asia (approx. 13,000 tons annually) because consumers there believe both the ingestion and topical application of olive oil to be good for skin and health.
How old is your olive oil?
Like most agricultural products, the ideal time to consume them is at the moment of production. Extra virgin olive oil is no exception. It is vulnerable to time, light, temperature and oxygen exposure; and each day that passes means vital benefits are being lost.
That is why we encourage you to take advantage of its healthful qualities as soon as you open the bottle. Take it beyond the kitchen and incorporate it into your daily life.
