Extra virgin olive oil has always been a fundamental ingredient for seasoning the dishes of the whole family, but it is even more important for the nutrition of children from the earliest years of life.
Its use is recommended right from breastfeeding because it does not alter the taste of breast milk and offers all the nutrients the baby needs.
Even during weaning, extra virgin olive oil must be present in infant food, respecting the doses recommended by paediatricians, equal to 2/3 tablespoons per day.
The benefits of the extra virgin olive oil for children
What makes the oil quality is its pressing, which is obtained from freshly harvested olives and without undergoing any other type of treatment.
There are many reasons why extra virgin olive oil is particularly healthy for infant feeding, also supported by Saverio Pandolfi himself, researcher of the “National Research Council – Istituto Genetica Vegetale”:

- it is rich in oleic acid which reduces bad cholesterol;
- it counteracts constipation by regulating all intestinal functions;
- it helps body growth, bone formation and the development of the nervous system;
- •it promotes the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K);
- it is rich in omega 3, an essential element for improving brain functions, for cellular composition, for developing neuro-psycho-motor actions and for structuring the retina.
