Set up in 2001, Carapelli Nutritional Institute is involved in research on olive oil in all its aspects: chemical, organoleptic, agronomical, technological, historical, pharmacological, biochemical and nutritional. The mission is to study, maintain and emphasize the nutritional properties of olives, including minor components, which are considered capable of protecting the human body against degenerative diseases.
Carapelli Nutritional Institute aims at being the centre and promoter of such research, with diffusion abroad: to the scientific community, the schools and the consumers, in order to better spread a wider alimentary culture and more proper nutrition. Since its foundation, more than a hundred years ago, research has been the heart of Carapelli Firenze, a company dedicated to extra virgin olive oil specialization and improvement.
