Health Benefits

Extra virgin olive oil is celebrated for its numerous health benefits, and Texana’s Italian Herb Infused Olive Oil is no exception. Packed with antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats, it supports heart health and reduces inflammation. The addition of Italian herbs provides an extra boost of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. 

Specific Health Benefits of Infused Herbs 

Texana Brand’s Italian Herb Infused Olive Oil offers a range of health benefits thanks to its infusion of basil, oregano, and thyme. This combination enhances the flavor of dishes and can also help support overall health. 

The infused herbs add their own health benefits:

Basil’s Anti-Inflammatory Properties:

  • Eugenol: This compound in basil blocks the activity of the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme, which plays a significant role in the inflammatory process. By inhibiting COX, basil helps reduce inflammation and pain associated with conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Antioxidants: Basil is rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, thereby reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Oregano’s Antibacterial Qualities:

  • Carvacrol and Thymol: These compounds are effective against a variety of bacteria, including some strains that are resistant to antibiotics. Carvacrol disrupts bacterial cell membranes, preventing bacterial growth and infections.
  • Immune Support: Regular consumption of oregano can enhance the body's natural defenses, supporting the immune system and helping to fend off infections.

Thyme’s High Vitamin Content:

  • Vitamin C: Thyme is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is crucial for immune system function, skin health, and collagen production.
  • Vitamin A: This vitamin supports vision, skin health, and immune function. Thyme’s high vitamin A content can contribute to better eye health and improved skin condition.
  • Manganese: Essential for bone health, metabolism, and the body’s antioxidant defenses, manganese in thyme helps maintain strong bones and metabolic processes.

Versatile Cooking Uses 

Texana’s Italian Herb Infused Olive Oil is very versatile and can be used in many ways and in a variety of dishes. Here are five ways to incorporate it into your cooking:

  1. Salad Dressings: Drizzle over fresh greens for an instant flavor boost.
  2. Bread Dipping: Serve with crusty bread for an irresistible appetizer.
  3. Marinades: Use it to marinate meats, poultry, or vegetables for grilling or roasting.
