As one of the oldest importers and marketers of quality Italian foods, we understand the importance of providing culinary solutions that are not only delicious but also nutritious. Pope “Traditionale” Olive Oil is 100% pure olive from the second squeezing. This rich olive oil always contains a good portion of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, ensuring outstanding taste with Pope quality. Available in three sizes, 500-milliliter and 1-liter glass bottles plus 3-liter tins, Pope “Traditionale” Olive Oil is a quality expression of the Italian olive oil producer’ art.

Even more good news…when cooking with fats, olive oil is a healthy choice. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, which can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing the total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol levels in your blood.

In contrast, saturated and trans fats — such as butter, tropical oils and hydrogenated margarines — increase your risk of heart disease by increasing your total and LDL cholesterol levels.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming about 2 tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil a day may reduce your risk of heart disease. You can get the most benefit by substituting olive oil for saturated fats rather than just adding more olive oil to your diet.

So, go ahead…drizzle Pope Olive Oil on grilled vegetables, toss with your favorite pasta and freshly grated cheese or brush on toasted garlic bread. Pope Olive Oil is not just delicious; it’s good for you!
