Olive dressing has a fresh, healthy and delicate taste. Highly versatile, it can be used not only in western-style cooking, but also for French and Japanese dishes. Great for salads, seafood, grilled fish and meat dishes, this multi-purpose dressing is truly wonderful.

All of these original products bring out the full flavor of foods. Being made with healthy olive oil as a base, these dressings are good for you too.

Olives for Beauty
In order to prevent olive fruit from bruising, which leads to the oxidation of oil, olives grown in Kagawa are hand picked, one by one. These high quality olives are ripened, pressed, and the oil filtered drop by drop to produce olive cosmetics. In addition to cleansers, toners and creams for the face, olives are also used in moisturizing creams for the body, hands and lips as well. Olive oil is said to have many beauty benefits, and the secret lies in oleic acid, its main component. In fact, more than half of the fatty acids found in the human body are composed of oleic acid. As a result, olive oil is extremely gentle on the skin, and penetrates deeply to deliver moisture. Also, olive oil contains vitamin E, polyphenols and other nutrients that condition the skin and keep it looking healthy. Because olive cosmetics are gentle on the skin, they can be used all over the body, face and hair, in addition to areas prone to dryness. There are also many olive soaps available, which are made exclusively with natural olives, and contain absolutely no synthetic chemicals. These high-quality soaps are popular for many reasons.
