Greeks love olive oil, and it is therefore used liberally within Greek cuisine. Today, olive groves are all over Greece, from the Peloponnese to Crete and the other islands, but olive oil from the Peloponnese is known as the best in the world. Greece produces 300,000 tonnes of olive oil every year, making them the fourth largest olive oil producer in the world. 70% of this olive oil is rated extra virgin. The grade extra virgin is administered to olive oil that has an acidity of between 0.1% - 0.8% (the amount of oleic acid per 100 grams of olive oil). The olive oil must have obtained this percentage naturally. Extra virgin also means that the oil has been cold-pressed from the best quality olives. Olive oil is packaged I glass bottles or cans after pressing. These containers best protect the olive oil from sunlight, heat and moisture.
Besides its delicious taste, olive oil is a natural panacea and has many positive effects on our health. The cholesterol-lowering effect due to the many vitamins and monounsaturated fats in the oil makes olive oil lower the risk of heart disease. Besides lowering blood pressure, it is nutritious because of its many antioxidants and vitamins (E and K). With weight loss in mind, olive oil is therefore a good choice as it is a healthier alternative compared to other oils and fats.
In our range, you can also find the Kotsiris Family olive oil. The we produce ourselves from our own olive groves in Greece. This is our greatest pride made with love and care: a small print run of some 15000 litres of olive oil per year that always sells out. With an exceptionally low acidity of 0.02%, this oil is pure nature, and you can taste that back. The oil is extra virgin, cold-pressed, and the olives are unsprayed, unfertilised and unfiltered. For more information, please visit the Kotsiris Family page. If you have any questions about our own olive oil, you can always call or message us.
