Myth Buster: Can You Cook With Olive Oil?

Absolutely! Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the most stable oils for cooking, and higher-phenolic EVOOs like our ZOI and Olio Nuovo retain more of their beneficial phenols after heating.

The biggest enemy of EVOO? Oxygen. Exposure to oxygen can reduce its phenol content over time, which is one reason to pay attention to how you store your oil. Curious about the science behind cooking with EVOO? Our Nutrition Advisor, Dr. Mary Flynn, PhD, RD, breaks it all down for you.

💚 We love it when dietitians love ZOI! 💚

Registered Dietitian @arugalyssa shares...
"ZOI offers powerful health benefits, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and oleocanthal. This oil is specifically designed to be consumed raw, drizzled over a salad or added to a smoothie. When the oil is added to raw fruits/veggies, you are able to absorb the fat soluble vitamins that produce contains."

Exciting New Alzheimer's Research!
 

🧬 We are incredibly proud to announce that LACONIKO ZOI has been selected for an important Alzheimer’s research project taking place here in the United States.

Researchers are studying the effects that ZOI’s exceptionally high concentrations of naturally occurring olive oil phenols, particularly oleocanthal, may have on patients living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Because this important research is still underway, we are not yet permitted to disclose the university conducting the study. Once the project has concluded and the findings have been published, we will be sharing the findings with you.

Awards recognize the quality of our olive oil,  but seeing our olive oils contribute to research that could potentially improve people’s lives gives our family’s work an even greater purpose.
