Do you want to bring a breath of excellent and light Mediterranean gastronomy into your diet?

Trust our mild and 100% pure extra virgin olive oil. It comes from the finest olives that ripened under the southern sun, were hand-picked, and mechanically pressed at low pressure and low temperatures to yield their best.

Olive oil forms the basis of the Mediterranean diet. It enhances dishes with its typical olive taste and aroma. Its high nutritional value and unmistakable sensory properties make it ideal for cold dishes.

It is perfect for salads, spreads, dips, pasta, for garnishing cold and hot soups, but also simply on bread. Spaniards love bread with olive oil and tomato, while for Greeks, bread scented with thyme and olive oil is typical.

Olive oil stands out with a high proportion of beneficial unsaturated fatty acids, which can be up to 70%. Gentle production preserves the maximum amount of minerals, fat-soluble vitamins, and other important substances, including polyphenols, which act as antioxidants.

Olive oil has a beneficial effect on the entire body and helps maintain a slim figure. Moreover, it benefits not only from within but also from without. It is often an ingredient in nourishing and caring cosmetics for dry and problematic skin or anti-ageing products.

A versatile green treasure for a healthy lifestyle.

Olive oil proven over millennia

The European olive tree Olea Europaea is one of the oldest cultivated crops. It originated in Iran but soon spread to areas around the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient Greeks highly valued it, for whom it was a symbol of wealth, abundance, power, fertility, and peace. The Bible mentions the olive tree, olives, and oil from them many times. This tree is an important symbol for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. From ancient times, it has been used for cosmetic, culinary, and medicinal purposes.

Olive trees are specific in that they grow very slowly, producing their first olives only after twenty or more years of growth. However, they thrive for an exceptionally long time, with trees bearing fruit for up to 150 years being no exception. Olive groves thus form a valuable family heritage passed down from generation to generation.

Just as we cannot imagine the arid Mediterranean landscape without the typical twisted trees with grey-green leaves, neither is the local cuisine conceivable without olives and olive oil.

Extra virgin – the best quality and taste

Olive oil is produced by pressing olives. According to the production process, it is divided into several groups. The highest quality is extra virgin olive oil, from the first cold pressing.

To bear this designation, the olives must be processed within 24 hours of harvest, exclusively mechanically, at low pressure and low temperatures up to 27 °C. During the pressing of such high-quality olive oil, no solvents or other chemicals are used. The oil is then only filtered to remove olive residues.

The acidity value of the olive oil is 0.58%, which indicates its high quality.

Glass packaging for the oil is only available for 750 ml. The 1l and 5l packages are plastic.

Production method

Cold-pressed – oil obtained only mechanically at low temperatures without the use of chemicals. It is suitable for cold dishes.  

How to use
