Every morning can start with a simple, yet precious gesture: one or two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. This is not a passing trend, but a ritual that combines tradition, flavor, and wellness. A habit rooted in Mediterranean culture, where extra virgin olive oil has been considered a natural ally for health and quality of life for centuries.
Why more and more people drink extra virgin olive oil in the morning
Drinking one or two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in the morning is a practical way to introduce the valuable natural compounds present in the oil:
- Polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress and support gut health
- Vitamin E, which helps protect cells from free radicals and prevents aging
- Oleic acid, the main healthy fat in extra virgin olive oil, which supports cardiovascular health and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels
Polyphenols are also responsible for the slightly bitter and pungent note of the oil. The body can absorb only a certain amount each day, so balanced consumption is essential. Extra is calibrated to offer maximum benefit without sacrificing taste, turning this gesture into a small daily ritual, similar to the morning coffee routine.
Not all extra virgin oils are the same
The quality of extra virgin olive oil makes all the difference. Extra comes from Cima di Mola monocultivar olives, carefully harvested and immediately processed using innovative methods:
- Early harvesting to preserve freshness and natural compounds
- Immediate processing in the absence of oxygen
- Filtration with pure cellulose and storage under inert gas to maintain nutritional properties
This careful approach results in an intense, elegant oil, rich in beneficial compounds and ready to be enjoyed daily.
How many tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil per day
Guidelines suggest consuming on average 20 grams of extra virgin olive oil per day, equivalent to about two tablespoons.
If distributed across different meals throughout the day, consumption can reach up to 4–5 tablespoons in total without affecting the balance of the diet. Regular intake of extra virgin olive oil can help lower the glycemic index of meals and support weight management, helping limit abdominal fat accumulation.
One tablespoon or a shot of Intini Extra in the morning represents a small personal wellness gesture, while the rest can be used throughout the day to dress salads, vegetables, or legumes. This way, taste and nutrition are combined, without giving up the pleasure of food.
