Olive Oil

Like all French families, we use a lot of olive oil. We use it for cooking and our salads dressings. We even put some in our dog food to prevent his eczema ... And it works!

Olive oil is the main reason we started Truly France. As we thought about starting our business, the first thing we wanted to bring in the United States was our wonderful olive oil. To be honest, before Truly France, we had our olive oil shipped from France all the time. It was the first item of Truly France's catalog!

Nothing can replace the taste of a very good olive oil and everyone says that is the healthier oil. Cardiologists recommend to have at least two tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil each day. It is known that extra virgin olive oil  is really good for your health and heart, but it has many other benefits I can't listed here because the list is really long. But I encourage you to Google: benefits of olive oil.

If you are thinking about changing your habits and switching to olive oil you need to go for an extra virgin olive oil for a superior taste and highest quality. 
What extra virgin olive oil mean? This means the oil is extracted directly from the fruit of the olive tree, just after the harvest, by grinding the olives using "cold-pressed" method to keep the oil from losing its flavor. This also means the oil is bottled with no chemical addition and it is not refined to insure it retains its natural flavor.
At Truly France we propose only extra virgin olive oils because we want to ensure  that you purchase the best quality oil.
