For Greeks, Olive Oil is a main culinary ingredient, health, and beauty remedy since ancient times. Homer called it “Liquid Gold” and Hippocrates the “Great Healer” where he used it in more than 60 different treatments. Olive Oil is deeply related to the Greek culture and Orthodox religion and it is the cornerstone of the Cretan Diet, known all over the world as the Mediterranean Diet.

More than 100 different olive varietals are thriving in the fertile land of the country with Koroneiki being the most famous & cultivated varietal not only in Greece (60 percent of the production) but all over the world due to its high adaptability and oil production.

Olive oil is not just “one product”, it has different quality categories, varieties, and intensities. Every variety has a different aromatic and gustatory profile, different intensities of fruity, bitter, and spicy and this is the reason that not all varieties pair perfectly with all the foods.

Tasting the flavors of a good extra virgin olive oil is pure enjoyment for the senses! Some of the aromas of the Greek olive varieties include freshly-cut grass, green olive, artichoke, tomato & tomato leaf, olive leaf, green, bitter or ripe almond, walnut, green & ripe banana, green or ripe apple, pear, chamomile, wildflowers, thyme, basil, rosemary, and arugula.
