Golden Liquid
Olive oil, the “Golden Liquid”, it has been part of Greek history since antiquity.It was regarded a basic and irreplaceable nutritional component of Greeks, helping to protect health and aiding a person’s longevity.
Greek Nutrition
Since the first olive tree was planted in Crete around 3500 BC in the Early Minoan times, olive oil became synonymous with the Greek nutrition through centuries. Today it is regarded as the best in the world, because as a percentage of overall olive oil production, the extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) reaches up to 80% and sometimes in Crete even up to 90%.
Low Acidity
Greek EVOO’s have very low acidity and peroxides which make them of premium quality.
Meticulous Care
This can be recognized mainly from the fruitiness, the bitterness and the pungency, the aromas that show freshness and healthy olives. All these extraordinary characteristics are the result of proper planting, maintenance and meticulous care in all the stages of production and harvesting.
