ARAUCO
A unique, truly Argentinean variety which
the Spanish Crown failed to eradicate the
17th Century in its effort to prevent it from
competing with oils made in the mother
country. Some of the trees that did
survive in the province of La Rioja evolved
into the indigenous Criolla or Arauco
variety, which was then grown in
Mendoza. The remains of the olive groves
planted in Mendoza by Francisco de
Aguirre in 1562 are the oldest testimonies
of olive growing in Argentina. Originally
used for preserves, Arauco is a large and
asymmetric olive variety.

CHARACTERISTICS
Primolea’s extra virgin olive oil varieties are made
from fresh olives within 24 hours of picking. Leaves
and stems are removed; the olives are washed,
and then ground and mixed – or malaxated– into a
paste. Finally, the olives are cold pressed using an
industrial decanter to extract the oil with no water
added, which is crucial for a high quality oil. We at
Primolea are absolutely convinced that this oil
making process, fully carried out in stainless steel
equipment, allows the extracted olive oil to retain
a balanced PBF, that is, pepperiness –the level of
anti-oxidants–, bitterness –the mark of a young
oil–, and fruitiness –the typicity of each variety.
These qualities are imparted by the vitamins and
properties of the olives from which our oil comes.
This is the only vegetable oil that can be
consumed in its ‘crude’ or unrefined state.
Given its marked characteristics, olive oil is a major
source of nutrients for a healthy and balanced diet.
•

•
Lowers cholesterol levels and enhances
metabolic functions
•
Has beneficial antioxidant effects
•
Is rich in vitamin A (strengthens the body’s
natural defenses); D (antirachitic); E
(antisterility factor); K (coagulant)
10 BENEFITS AND HEALTHY PROPERTIES OF
OLIVE OIL
1. Reduces the risk of suffering from
Type II Diabetes
A low-fat diet is typically recommended to prevent
diseases such as diabetes or those related to the
heart. In fact, different studies have shown that
high fat intake in the daily diet increases the risk of
suffering from serious diseases such as cancer and
diabetes. With this said, it is worth noting that it is
the type of fat intake, rather than the amount of it,
that seriously affects health. Consequently, a diet
rich in monounsaturated fats (such as those found
in olive oil, nuts, and seeds) has been found to offer
protection against many chronic diseases. On the
other hand, according to a study published in the
scientific journal '' Diabetes Care '', it has been
shown that a Mediterranean-style diet, rich in olive
oil, reduces the risk of type II diabetes by almost
50%, in comparison on a low-fat diet. Type II
diabetes is the most common and preventable
form of diabetes.
2. Helps prevent a stroke
According to a study conducted in France, and
published in the online edition of Neurology, older
people who consume olive oil on a daily basis may
be able to protect themselves from stroke. The
study collected information from the medical
records of 7,625 people over the age of 65 from
three cities in France - Bordeaux, Dijon and
Montpellier - none of whom had a history of stroke.
The individuals were classified into three groups,
based on their consumption of olive oil. After five
years, 148 strokes were reported. The results
showed that individuals who frequently consumed
olive oil had a 41% lower risk of stroke, compared
to those who did not consume olive oil at all.
3. Keeps your heart young and healthy
As we age, our hearts go through a normal aging
process. The function of the artery tends to decline
with age, leading to a number of health problems.
In a recent study, Spanish researchers discovered
that a diet rich in olive oil and other
monounsaturated fats could improve arterial
function in elderly people.
4. Helps fight osteoporosis
A disease predominantly characterized by the
decrease in bone mass is osteoporosis, which
makes the architecture of the bone tissue more
fragile, and increases the possibility of fractures,
making the slightest stumbling block, the results
can be fatal. However, it was found that olive oil
supplements can positively influence bone
thickness. While olive oil is not the only solution,
scientists have concluded that it holds great
promise for the development of future treatments
for the disease.
5. Helps fight depression
Olive oil is known to be beneficial for countless
physical ailments, but did you know that it can
also work for emotional health? Spanish
researchers from the University of Navarra and Las
Palmas de Gran Canaria, found that a diet rich in
olive oil can protect those who consume it from
mental illness. It has recently been discovered that
a higher intake of olive oil and polyunsaturated
fats such as those found in fish and vegetable oils,
decrease the risk of depression. According to the
findings, cardiovascular disease and depression
share some common diet-related mechanisms.
6. Prevents skin cancer
A recent study found that olive oil contributes to
the prevention of malignant melanomas (the most
dangerous type of skin cancer). However, the use
of sunscreen, the intake of olive oil and a
Mediterranean diet can help you protect against
the effects of the sun.
7. Reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease
Numerous studies lead that olive oil can reduce
the risk of Alzheimer's disease. A study published
in the journal Chemistry of Neuroscience showed
that oleocanthal (a type of natural phenolic
compound found in extra virgin olive oil) has the
potential to reduce the risk of diseases such as
Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment that come
with aging. The polyphenols in olive oil are
powerful antioxidants, which can help reverse
oxidative damage that occurs due to the aging
process.
8. Protection against breast cancer
A high-fat diet is directly related to an increased
risk of cancer. However, the types of fats
consumed can actually play a protective role
against tumor development. Virgin olive oil is rich
in oleic acid - a monounsaturated fatty acid, which
contains various bioactive compounds such as
antioxidants. Research shows that a moderate and
regular consumption of olive oil reduces the risk of
certain types of cancer, including breast cancer.
9. Reduces oxidative stress
Studies suggest that olive oil can protect the liver
from oxidative stress. To test this theory, the
scientists exposed a group of rats to a moderately
toxic herbicide c to deplete antioxidants and cause
oxidative stress. The results showed that rats fed a
diet containing olive oil were partially protected
from liver damage.
10. Contains anti-inflammatory
substances
Chronic inflammation is believed to be a leading
cause of many diseases, including heart disease,
cancer, metabolic syndrome, diabetes,
Alzheimer's, and arthritis. However, one of the
benefits of olive oil lies in its ability to fight
inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effects of oil
appear to be mediated by the antioxidants in olive
oil. One of these antioxidants is oleocanthal -
which works like ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory
drug. In fact, 50 ml of extra virgin olive oil has a
similar effect to 10% of the adult ibuprofen dose for
pain relief.
