Our exceptional early harvest olive oil is crafted from unripe, green olives, resulting in an intense green color and a distinctive bitter, spicy, and fruity flavor profile. Known to the ancient Greeks as 'omotrives' or 'omfakio', this oil offers superior benefits compared to its ripe counterpart:
Rich in polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals
Powerful antioxidant properties
Longer shelf life
High content of oleosin and oleocanthal, unique to extra virgin olive oil
Abundant in omega fatty acids, including oleic acid (omega-9)
Enhanced with sterols, alcohols, carotenoids, and tocopherols (vitamin E)
Recognized for its health benefits, our early harvest oil may help lower cholesterol, protect against certain cancers, support liver function, and benefit those with diabetes or heart disease.
It boasts exceptionally high levels of oleosin and oleocanthal, as verified by research from the National Kapodistrian University of Athens.
