From herbs and spicy peppers to citrus fruits, there are hundreds of different kinds of infused olive oil products on the market and Spain's Neoalgae offers a unique variety that shares the benefits of plankton. The plankton-enriched olive oil shares the nutritious benefits of ingredients from land and sea.
On its own, olive oil is a rich source of antioxidants and good fats to support heart health, and marine plankton helps to further enhance it with a variety of vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium, plus omega fatty acids and antioxidant compounds. The nutritious ingredient is vegan and the enriched olive oil packaging communicates this. Neoalgae's olive oil has the potential to be used in a wide variety of healthy dishes.
