Art. 1 – Purposes
This international site has two intentions:
– promotes the use of “REAL” EVO in the FAMILIES DAILY USE , which according to CE 2568/91 has “only advanteges”.
– rewards producers that offer EVO SUSTAINABLE FAMILY PRICE for daily consumption.
We consider unnecessary to explain the consequences of such a promotion both in terms of health, the EVO is a “long-life” drug and in terms of the market, considering that the olives inexorably turn in black.
