Heart Healthy Extra Virgin Olive Oil



Date: 12/20/11

Did you know that a group of recent studies offers even more evidence of Extra Virgin Olive Oil’s heart healthy benefits? One of the key polyphenols in olive oil - hydroxytyrosol (HT) - helps protect the cells that line our blood vessels from being damaged by overly reactive oxygen molecules. It also protects blood vessel cells by triggering changes at a genetic level. Those changes help the blood vessel walls to enhance their antioxidant defense system.
So, not only does EVOO provide vitamin E & beta-carotene, it also works on a genetic level to keep your blood vessel walls healthy & strong.

All of us at Bella Notte want to thank you for your continued support over the past year. You have our commitment that we’ll continue to offer only the freshest, wild, line caught seafood, and bring that in 6 days a week. We’ll continue to source Kentucky Proud local produce & meats for our menus. We’ll continue to make our sauces fresh every day, and as you like them. We were the first Lexington restaurant to offer gluten-free pasta, and we’ll continue to look for even more gluten-free options for our menu.

As your family celebrates the holidays and welcomes in the new year, I hope that you’ll continue to choose Bella Notte. We’re a locally owned family business, and you can always count on us to offer that personalized service that the large chains just can’t provide. And you can always be confident that we’re preparing your order fresh to order, from the highest quality ingredients.

We do have a microwave, and we’ll be happy to warm your food up in it, if you’d like. We’re just not going to use it to cook – or prepare – your meals. Fresh! Local! Seasonal! That’s our commitment to you!

Happy Holidays!

Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil at Bella Notte



Date: 12/13/11

No other fruit has such a rich history than the olive. It's good for you in ways that many of us have never imagined.

EVOO may relieve unwanted  inflamation, and has been shown to assist in lowering your risk of heart disease. One of the key polyphenols in olive oil - hydroxytyrosol (HT) - helps protect the cells that line our blood vessels from being damaged by overly reactive oxygen molecules. HT helps protect the blood vessel cells by triggering changes at a genetic level. The genetic changes triggered by HT help the blood vessel cells to enhance their antioxidant defense system. In other words, olive oil supports our blood vessels not only by providing antioxidants like like vitamin E and beta-carotene. Olive oil also provides our blood vessels with unique molecules like HT that actually work at a genetic level to help the cellular walls of the blood vessels remain strong.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, with respect to the nutritional and health benefits of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Every table at Bella Notte is greeted with hot, freshly baked peasant bread, extra virgin olive oil, and our own freshly prepared seasoning blend. It's a Tuscan tradition that lives proudly at Bella Notte!

Fresh! Local! Seasonal!
