Pomace Olive Oil has 6000 years of history. It is among the oldest known cultivated trees in the world and is still being cultivated today for the numerous benefits it provides to health and to beauty.
Our Pomace Olive Oil is produced from the pulp and leftover flesh of the olives after the first press is done creating Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In essence, it is derived directly from Extra Virgin Olive Oil and contains all the best vitamins and minerals that the oil is known for.
