8 Ways to Incorporate Olive Oil into Your Daily Life

At Sole Toscana, we consider extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) a gold elixir—not only for skincare but for overall well-being. As one of the most nutrient-rich and versatile natural ingredients, high-quality olive oil has been cherished in Italy for centuries, enhancing health, flavor, self-care, and daily rituals.


We take pride in using organically grown, hand-harvested, and cold-pressed olive oil from our farm, maintaining its purity and efficacy every step of the way. It's a key ingredient in every one of our organic certified (by Natrue) skincare and hair care products.


Just as we choose only the finest ingredients at Sole Toscana, we encourage you to seek out the best EVOO—cold-pressed, organic, and unfiltered—to experience its full range of benefits. Here are seven ways to elevate your daily life with this Mediterranean staple.

1. Boost Your Morning Routine with a Spoonful

Many Mediterranean cultures start the day with a small sip of extra virgin olive oil. This ancient wellness ritual supports digestion, heart health, and glowing skin from the inside out.


2. Condition Wooden Kitchenware

Naturally preserve and protect your wooden cutting boards, spoons, and serving bowls by rubbing them with a thin layer of EVOO. This prevents drying and cracking while keeping your kitchen tools in top shape.

3. Upgrade Your Coffee or Tea Ritual

For a luxurious twist, add a few drops of EVOO to your morning coffee or tea. It creates a creamy texture (similar to how butter is used in coffee) while delivering healthy fats and antioxidants that promote sustained energy.


Before bed, try mixing a teaspoon of olive oil with a little honey or warm herbal tea. This old-world remedy is believed to soothe the throat, relax the body, and support deep sleep.


4. Create a Luxurious Bath & Body Ritual

Add a tablespoon of olive oil to warm bathwater for silky-soft skin. Or, mix it with sea salt or sugar to create an indulgent body scrub that exfoliates while deeply moisturizing.


5. Soothe and Strengthen Nails & Cuticles

Massage a drop of EVOO onto nails and cuticles to keep them hydrated and strong. It’s a natural remedy to prevent breakage and promote healthy nail growth.


For an even more powerful formula of organic olive oil and other natural ingredients, try Sole Toscana's la Dolce Vita Elixir in your luxurious bath & body ritual or when soothing nails & cuticles.

6. Elevate Your Cooking for Flavor & Health

Drizzle high-quality cold-pressed EVOO over salads, roasted vegetables, and soups to unlock its heart-healthy benefits. Cooking with low heat (or using it raw) helps preserve its antioxidants.


7. Enhance Your Hair’s Strength and Shine

For centuries, Italian women have used olive oil as a hair treatment to nourish dry strands. Massage warm EVOO into your scalp and ends, leave it for 20 minutes, then rinse for stronger, shinier hair.


For an even more nourishing blend of oils for your hair, try Sole Toscana's skin & hair oil.

8. Polish Leather & Wood Furniture Naturally

Forget chemical-laden furniture polishes—olive oil makes an excellent natural conditioner for leather bags, shoes, and wooden surfaces. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth for a gentle, nourishing shine.


A Timeless Ingredient for a Better Life

Whether enhancing your meals, self-care, or daily rituals, high-quality extra virgin olive oil is a small luxury with lasting benefits.


At Sole Toscana, we honor this Italian tradition by using only the finest cold-pressed olive oil from our Italian farm in our skincare—so you can experience its nourishing power inside and out. How do you love using EVOO in your daily life?
