For
thousands of years, olive oil has been an essential part of the
Mediterranean diet as olive trees are found mostly in the
Mediterranean region.
Oliveoil is a rich source of different polyphenols. These polyphenols work
as both antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients in the body.
Olive oil is unique in terms of its fat composition. It is mostly
made of oleic acid, a monounsaturated, omega-9 fat. It also
contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as vitamins E
and K. Plus, olive oil is naturally free of cholesterol and gluten.
As many lower quality olive oils are available in the market, you need to be very careful when buying it. The best type is extra virgin organic olive oil, which is cold-pressed and has the best taste and smell.
We produce superior category Organic olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means. Our Organic Olive Grove lies at the north-eastern part of Peloponnesos - in Greece.
