Olive Oils from Spain

Olive Oils from Spain is the promotional brand of the Interprofesional del Aceite de Oliva Español, a non-profit organization representing the entire Spanish olive oil sector. While primarily known for global marketing, the organization is a significant funder and coordinator of clinical research investigating the health benefits of olive oil and the Mediterranean diet. They have supported landmark clinical trials such as PREDIMED and CordioPrev, which provide high-level scientific evidence for the role of monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols in preventing cardiovascular events and metabolic disorders. Their work bridges the gap between nutritional science and preventative medicine, collaborating extensively with academic institutions and healthcare researchers. The organization's efforts are instrumental in establishing olive oil as a functional food with therapeutic potential in oncology, cardiology, and endocrinology.
