Get ready for a health-packed recipe that'll leave you licking your fingers!

Ilias & Sons and terra 20 are proud to share this local recipe in celebration of our new partnership. Read on to learn why we're the perfect picky partners, the health perks in every drop of Black Garlic-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil (BEVOO), and the recipe that's sure to become a family favorite!

Picky partners

terra 20 is all about making healthy, sustainable products easily available to members of the Ottawa community. They've formed partnerships with all kinds of local vendors that strive to do the same - now including us.

Part of what makes our partnership with terra 20 a perfect fit is...we're both picky! We grow our own olives at our family grove Vasikali, Peleponnese, Greece. We use quality management processes that have been passed down in our family for generations. And we only carry pure, olive-based products completely free of any additives or preservatives, canola oil, vegetable oil or other chemicals. It's because our EVOO's best-in-class that terra 20's comfortable letting our products flow from their shelves.

Now featuring BEVOO

The elixir's two main ingredients, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and black garlic, have tons of amazing health perks.

List of EVOO health perks

  • Fend of breast cancer with EVOO's phytonutrient, oleocanthal
  • Deflate heart disease by lowering total blood cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and triglycerides.
  • Lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
  • Lose weight faster with an EVOO than low-fat diet (according to a study cited by the OliveOilTimes)
  • Protect against rheumatoid arthritis
  • Prevent and reduce pain from osteoporosis through improving your bones' calcium absorption
  • EVOO has been shown to improve blood circulation
  • EVOO helps reduce and protect against the cognitive ability that can lead to diseases like Alzheimers
  • Replacing foods high in trans fats with EVOO helps improve overall mood

List of black garlic health perks

  • Healthmad.com says the fermented black bulb's extremely high concentrations of S-allycystein help fight bad cholesterol, infection, and the risk of cancer.
  • Black garlic has twice as many antioxidants as regular garlic (a.k.a. ALOT), which helps protect the body from free radical cell damage that could cause Alzheimers, heart disease, circulatory damage and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Each clove has manganese, calcium, vitamins B and C, selenium, phosphorus and copper.
