Collection: Greek Olive Oil

Nature gave Greece a lot of wealth and the main one, of course, is Greek olive oil. For several millennia of its existence, “liquid gold”, as it is called here, has become a part of Greek culture.

The cultivation of olive trees and olive oil production has been part of the life of Mediterranean peoples since time immemorial. Olive oil has always been vitally important to the ancient Greeks. It was eaten, used as cosmetics and paint when creating decorative vases. The olive branch in Ancient Greece was a symbol of victory and wisdom; the winner of the Olympic Games was decorated with an olive wreath.

Moreover, olive oil in Greece was also used as a medicine. Hippocrates described the positive effect of olive oil on the body and mentioned in his writings about 60 diseases from which olive oil can heal.
