Olive Oil Castillo de Canena Demeter Biodynamic
The world is changing day by day and we are updating and upgrading our overall systems with this change. We are all aware now that how chemical fertilizers and sprays on our fields are harming the human health. With more advancements in the field of science and research, we have found that there is no alternative of nature and natural products.
For instance, if we look at olive oil and other synthetic fortified oils, then we will only give our vote to natural olive oil which is rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids and high density lipoproteins. Similarly the methods used to obtain these natural products also matter a lot. If we add artificial fertilizers for growth, then the product will have different aroma, taste and composition as compared to the products nourished and raised using natural things like manure.
