FAQ — TERRES OLIVE
Why take a shot of olive oil on an empty stomach?
Taking a shot of extra virgin olive oil as soon as you wake up helps gently activate your digestive system. It is the moment when your body is most receptive to absorbing polyphenols and antioxidants. This ritual supports digestion, promotes skin radiance and provides a stable source of energy without an insulin spike.
Is it easy to include in a daily routine?
Yes. The ritual only takes a few seconds each morning. Its simplicity is exactly what makes it easy to turn into a lasting daily habit.
How long does it take to feel the benefits of the ritual?
We recommend following the ritual for at least 1 month to build true consistency. The benefit comes above all from regularity.
Can I also use it for cooking?
Absolutely. Sourced from some of the best Mediterranean producers, our collection can be enjoyed both as a shot and in cooking. Ideal for seasoning simple dishes, it helps you absorb essential nutrients while bringing variety and pleasure to your routine.
Where do your oils come from?
Our olive oils are sourced from the Mediterranean basin and carefully selected from producers recognized for their expertise. Each oil is chosen for its quality, origin and unique profile.
How long does one bottle last?
With a daily shot of around 15 ml, a 500 ml bottle lasts approximately one month.
Why can olive oil create a tingling sensation at the back of the throat?
This tingling sensation, known as pungency, comes from the presence of oleocanthal, a powerful natural antioxidant. Most commonly found in green fruity olive oils, it creates this light peppery freshness at the back of the throat.
Is it suitable if I have a sensitive stomach?
Olive oil is known for its protective properties on the gastric mucosa. However, if you have a history of gallstones or specific digestive disorders, we recommend consulting your doctor before starting this ritual.
How should I store my bottle to preserve its benefits?
Olive oil is sensitive to three things: light, heat and oxygen.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed.
- Store it in a cool, dark place, such as a cupboard away from the stove.
- Consume it within 3 months after opening to enjoy its full nutritional power.
