Health Benefits
Sallaku oil has a high level of polyphenols, which contributes to many health benefits. The level of polyphenols on our olive oil test results show 483mg/kg, which is very high (some oils can be as low as 142mg/kg). The higher the polyphenols the healthier the olive oil.
Polyphenols are very good for the body by helping to manage blood pressure levels, keeping blood vessels healthy and promoting good circulation. They also help to reduce chronic inflammation, which is another risk factor for heart disease. Polyphenols can reduce and control blood sugar levels. Olive oil contains Vitamin E, which is good for the immune system as well as maintain healthy skin and eyes. Olive oil is a good source of Vitamin K, which is needed for blood clotting and wound healing.
Oleuropein is another good health factor in olive oil - our oil delivers a total amount of 207mg/kg, which is also very high.
At Sallaku Farm, our olives are grown with natural fertiliser to ensure they are the best quality and so that they don't contain harmful chemicals.

Olives have been in our family for generations. My grandfather produced oil for the family, surrounding neighbours and friends. My ancestors worked very hard to nurture the land and the olive trees before it was taken during the communist years; after communism collapsed it was a very special moment for our family, we then got our land back and the olive grove, so we started to produce our oil again.
