"Mens sana in corpore sano": olive oil and healthy living

Olive Oil: a millenarian history

Oil is surely a very well known product and it is always mentioned every day, as it is an indispensable food in many European countries. Italy, unlike many other countries, is proud of the important production of extra virgin olive oil, a product of very high quality which reflects all the characteristics of a healthy and genuine food.

The history of olive oil is actually thousands of years old: the first evidence of its use dates back to 4000 BC, but it is only from the Renaissance onwards that Italy became the leading olive oil producing country in the world, making it one of the most used and loved foods in the world.

It is therefore evident that for Italians and for those who decide to spend their lives in this fascinating peninsula, olive oil has a particular value and meaning.

Using oil is just one aspect of a healthy lifestyle

Eating right means feeling good, and feeling good means living better. This concept has been widely understood by those who base their nutrition on natural, healthy and quality products, improving their lives every day. The choice of building one's proper diet on the use of olive oil is surely in line with this thought, and for many Italians, both producers and consumers of extra virgin olive oil, this decision is confirmed every day through a constant commitment to the choice of quality products.

This means therefore that those who decide to base their daily lives on psycho-physical wellbeing will not stop at the simple selection of a food product, but will try to live under conditions of comfort, in places that allow them to manage their daily lives under the banner of wellbeing and serenity.

In this perspective, the territory in which we live is certainly one of the fundamental aspects to be considered. Needless to say, in order to lead a healthy life, it is recommended to settle in a more rural environment, maybe out of the city context, which also gives the opportunity to live surrounded by nature and cultivate various food products (such as the popular extra virgin olive oil), making them completely organic and zero kilometer.

Italy is certainly an area that meets this type of need, as our peninsula is rich in resources. Despite the high density of population in fact, Italy is still a nation with the possibility to offer its inhabitants green spaces and easily cultivable territories. Obviously this concept is even more valid if we talk about some Italian regions in particular, such as Tuscany. For centuries, this region boasts the merit of offering to those who choose it as a permanent home a place of rare beauty, which does not only offer breathtaking views, but also the possibility of cultivating and taking care of its wonderful territories, making them productive and giving the possibility to farmers to get high quality and valuable products on a worldwide level.

Tuscany: a territory to invest in

Thanks to its prosperous territory, this region offers to those who live here countless experiences. In the enormous range of quality products that Tuscany offers, we certainly have our precious extra virgin olive oil, which is the basis of our diet and which is jealously preserved and properly cared for by the growers, producers and exporters of the territory. It goes without saying that owning a house including a plot of cultivable land represents an incredible richness for those who have the intention of starting the cultivation of food products such as extra virgin olive oil, both to start a commercial production, but also simply for the consumption of the individual, who will have the possibility to enjoy an organic and healthy product.
