Intro

Today, I’m taking you on a solo exploration into the world of extra virgin olive oil—a topic that’s both well-loved in ancestral diets and increasingly backed by cutting-edge science. Inspired by my recent interview with TJ Robinson of the Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club, I started looking deeper into what makes extra virgin olive oil so powerful for health and longevity. What I found truly surprised me: there’s a wealth of research showing just how crucial high-quality olive oil is to the benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
