Greek PDO Kolymvari Olive Oil, Cold Pressed Extra Virgin, 3 Liter

Product Description: Mythology - Prioritizing Quality Above All

Celebrating the rich heritage of Greece, the Mythology brand is dedicated to providing products that adhere to the highest quality standards. Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil boasts PDO certification (Protected Designation of Origin), ensuring buyers that they are purchasing authentic products that consistently deliver exceptional quality.

Tradition & Heritage

The cultivation of the olive tree traces back to around 2500 BC, with the Greeks being pioneers in this practice. During the Minoan Era in Crete, olive oil was fundamental to the local economy. Archaeological findings at Knossos reveal that olives were processed, and the oil was stored in earthenware jars and amphoras, often exported to different Aegean islands and mainland Greece.

First Cold Extraction

Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil stands out due to the cold extraction process, which preserves the olives' finest qualities. Following traditional harvesting techniques to ensure optimal flavor and quality, our olives are handpicked under ideal conditions. Once harvested, the olives are taken to the mill, where they undergo mechanical cold pressing, resulting in an olive oil that belongs to the superior category.

Health Benefits

Including olive oil in daily meals supports a healthier lifestyle. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, it can help elevate levels of 'good' (HDL) cholesterol while decreasing 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) levels. This information is supported by research from the American Heart Association (2020).

PDO Kolymvari Certification

Our Kolymvari Extra Virgin Olive Oil PDO, recognized for its Protected Destination of Origin, is sourced exclusively from the Kolymvari region. Here, family-owned groves flourish, with olive trees adorned with lush green and silver leaves set against a backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea in Crete. This PDO certification is awarded by AGROCERT (2020).

The Island of Crete

Crete, blessed with mineral-rich soil and abundant sunshine year-round, provides an ideal environment for cultivating high-quality olives. It is these olives that are harvested to create the Mythology Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
