The “Golden Liquid” as Homer called it, has been part of Greek history since antiquity. It was regarded as a basic and irreplaceable nutritional component of the Greek diet, helping to protect one’s health and adding to one’s longevity. Since the first olive tree was planted in Greece, believed to have been on Crete around 3500 BC in the Early Minoan times, olive oil has become synonymous with the Greek nutrition throughout the centuries.
Today, it is regarded as the best in the world, because extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) comprises at least 80%, and sometimes in Crete even it makes up almost 90%, of overall olive oil production.
“Greek EVOO’s have very low acidity and peroxides, which make them of premium quality,”
