Not all olive oil is created equal. There's a world of difference between industrially mass-produced olive oil and high-quality, natural olive oil. To help you understand what really matters, we'll show you the most important quality characteristics here – concise, easy to understand, and reliable.
1. Origin and transparency
Genuine premium olive oil must clearly show,
where the olives come from and how they were processed .
Our products come from Greek family farms , where every olive is hand-picked.
2. Cold-pressed – but done right
“Cold-pressed” means that the oil was extracted at a maximum temperature of 27°C .
This way, all aromas, vitamins and polyphenols are preserved.
A truly good oil is always cold-pressed.
3. Color & Smell
A high-quality oil smells:
-
fresh
-
slightly fruity
-
green, like tomato leaves or fresh herbs
The color may vary – color is not a quality indicator . The fragrance is what matters.
4. Acidity
Premium extra virgin olive oil has an acidity level below 0.8% .
The lower the number, the better the quality.
5. Natural flavors – no additives
Our flavored oils (e.g. basil, oregano, lemon, garlic) are made using real extracts , not artificial flavorings.
Conclusion
Genuine olive oil can be recognized by the fact that it was produced naturally, authentically and transparently .
Our partners in Greece guarantee exactly that – and deliver the quality you can taste.
