Al Jameel Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Natural, First Cold Press - 500ml

Al Jameel Olive Oil is a bounty from nature, made from the finest olives. Each olive is carefully selected from planting to oil production.

The purest olives are cold-pressed to produce Al Jameel's high-quality olive oil. Olive oil has been known and extracted for centuries as a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil containing healthy, natural fats. Al Jameel olive oil is virgin olive oil, meaning it is cold-pressed without the use of any heat in its extraction. It is extracted using only natural methods from fresh olives. Exposing olives to heat causes a loss of nutritional value, so the cold-pressing method used in Al Jameel preserves its properties.
