Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil 🌿 🇬🇷

According to mythology, the olive tree was brought to the Greeks by Athena, who also taught her how to cultivate it.

The well-known episode of Athena's quarrel with Poseidon over the name of Athens is typical.

In the Acropolis there was the sacred olive of Athena, the first olive that the Goddess gave to the Greeks, and in the Academy the 12 sacred olives and the sacred olive grove from which came the oil that was given as a prize to the winners of the Panathenaia.

Indicative of the olive's importance to Athens is that the Athenians on their coins depicted Athena with an olive wreath on her helmet and an amphora of oil or an olive branch.

Another tradition states that Hercules (whose club was made of wild olive) brought an olive plant from the land of the Hyperboreans (a mythical people believed by the Greeks to dwell beyond the North, or alternatively in the sky) and planted it in Olympia.

Olympic women were crowned with the branches of this wild olive tree.

The golden and ivory statue of Zeus in Olympia, the work of Pheidias, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, was also crowned with olive branches.

the olive tree is intertwined with the civilization and culture of Greece from ancient times until now. Our goal is to save and preserve it for generations to come, offering the pure Greek olive oil to the world market.
