Let's make Irene's dream come true!

AWARDED GREEK OLIVE OIL

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

The extra virgin olive oils we include in your retreeve box are carefully selected and certified for their great quality. This way you will enjoy every time both a great taste, as well as all the nutritional benefits for your olive oil.

Hestia (meaning Hearth) is mentioned in mythology as the first born child of Cronus and Rhea and she customarily received the first offering at each sacrifice of the household. So we decided to name our first extra virgin olive oil after the greek goddess of the hearth. An excellent quality monovarietal olive oil from the Koroneiki variety, the flagship of greek olive varieties. Its very low acidity (0,22) and its high content in phenols (449) make it ideal for our healthy and delicious every day meals.

Demeter was worshipped as the mother of Earth, the goddess of harvest, agriculture and fertility. The harvest depended on her favor, so our early harvest EVOO is named in honor of her. Its rich olive fruity taste with a peppery finish are a reason to enjoy it raw either to boost your salads taste or for finishing your dishes. Low acidity (0,22) and full in antioxidants (phenols:700) it is a must-comsume.

Aphrodite is the goddess-symbol of beauty, love, pleasure, sexuality and procreation. Her unparalleled beauty and her vivid character are used as characteristics of an extremely healthy person. And our ultra-premium EVOO could not but take her name. A monovarietal extra virgin olive oil, from the Olympia ancient variety, the richest in phenols throughout Greece (700). Your daily superfood, ideal also for cosmetic use, for a skin reminding of Aphrodite.
