The Del Monte Pomace Olive Oil is a pure, cold-pressed, unrefined oil made from the first pressing of the olives. This oil is free of both the bitterness and the unpleasant smell of many oils. It is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and high in oleic acid, which is a heart-healthy fatty acid. The oil has a fruity, clean taste that is perfect for salad dressings and dipping.
