The Mediterranean diet once again has won the top spot in the 2025 Best Diets rankings ( U.S. News & World Report)

As we recognise Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it's crucial to understand the importance of prevention strategies. With an estimated 1 in 8 women likely to develop breast cancer during their lifetime, research is continually seeking ways to reduce this risk. One of the most promising findings points toward the Mediterranean diet, particularly its rich use of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

For over 100 years, the Dafnis Family has been producing olive oil on the island of Corfu. The youngest generation of the family, Spyros & George started a revolution by changing the olive oil production practices that turned a mediocre olive oil into a multi award winning high phenolic olive oil renowned the world over. 

When it comes to health, flavour, ease and satiety - the Mediterranean diet ticks all the boxes. There's a good reason that the Med diet is ranked by experts as the best for our health year after year.

A high-quality cold pressed olive oil should taste fresh and fruity. It can have a diverse range of aromas and flavour notes, from floral to fruity, grassy to herbal and peppery. It shouldn't taste fusty, musty or metallic. 

Valentine's Day may have come and gone, but the importance of keeping our hearts healthy is a year-round affair! And what better way to show some love to our tickers than with a drizzle of high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil?
