Why Olive Oil?
Not all olive oil is created equal! While many oils are mass-produced, Healthy Harvest is small-batch, unadulterated, pure oil. Healthy Harvest is sourced from a single family of fourth generation organic farmers in Sparta. They still pick the olives by hand to ensure perfect ripeness and no bruising. The olive fruits are then sent to press within one hour, using no heat or chemicals, leaving the juice of the olives completely unrefined and full of health benefits. The result is so pure, it will leave a lasting effect on your tastebuds and body.
