Oil and Health – EVO Oil, Natural Medicine

At EVOLIO Expo 2026, we will talk about health in a simple, concrete and people-friendly way

The extra virgin olive oil, which has always been the protagonist of the Mediterranean diet, is much more than an ingredient of our table: it is a true ally of daily well-being. Its natural composition makes it one of the most complete and valuable foods. Rich in good fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants, EVO oil contributes to the proper functioning of the body and can accompany every stage of life in a balanced way. In a time when quality nutrition has become an integral part of self-care, EVO oil is a staple of Italian food culture.

In particular, research conducted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has shown that daily consumption of extra virgin olive oil – in moderate quantities and as part of a balanced diet – significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic inflammation and cognitive decline.

Extra virgin olive oil is also a symbol of a healthy, sustainable and deeply rooted lifestyle. At the heart of Mediterranean eating habits, EVO oil embodies an approach that focuses on seasonality, food quality, biodiversity and short supply chains.

Numerous scientific studies confirm the role of EVO oil in the prevention of chronic diseases.

EVOLIO Expo 2026 will turn the spotlight on this often underestimated value: oil not only nourishes, but can also become a vehicle for food education, prevention and public health promotion.
