Health Benefits of Pesto Olive Oil

Our pesto-infused olive oil retains the heart-healthy benefits of extra virgin olive oil while adding antioxidants from fresh basil and garlic. EVOO is rich in monounsaturated fats, which support cardiovascular wellness, and basil offers anti-inflammatory properties.

Garlic is known for its immune-boosting and cholesterol-lowering effects, and Parmesan cheese contributes calcium and protein to the mix. Together, these ingredients create a flavorful oil that’s not only delicious but nourishing too.

Skin and Wellness Benefits

Thanks to EVOO’s high vitamin E content and basil’s natural antioxidants, this oil can support skin health, reduce oxidative stress, and even help with digestion. Garlic has antimicrobial properties that may benefit gut and immune health.
