Colwell Mandarin Olive Oil is also delicious at parties and other special events when used with bread for dipping. Mandarin Olive Oil from the Thundering Herd Ranch has been sold locally in specialty markets and festivals for the past three years and our enthusiastic mandarin olive oil customers have requested that our mandarin olive oil, lemon olive oil and balsamic vinegar products be made available via the internet as well.
The health benefits from using the very flavorful Colwell Mandarin Olive Oil are well researched. Our delicious Mandarin Olive Oil is a marvelous dietary replacement for other oils that do not contain the monosaturated fat found in olive oils. Because Colwell Mandarin Olive oil comes from a virgin first pressing of Mission olives it is very high in polyphenols which are known to be healthful antioxidants. Research by the Mayo Clinic indicates that mandarin olive oil and other olive oils can lower the risk of heart disease. Research has also indicated that Mandarin Olive oil and other olive oils are an antidote for stress and can reduce, with regular use in cooking, users' blood pressure by up to 50%.
When the cooking benefits of Colwell Mandarin Olive Oil – its robust, citrus flavor which enhances the diners enjoyment of any meal – is combined with mandarin olive oil’s significant array of health advantages, it is clear that Colwell Mandarin Olive Oil is a must have for every home’s kitchen so it can become a compliment to meals on a regular basis.
