Certified PDO Kolymvari Chania Crete Greek Olive Oil, 3 Liter

Placing Quality above all else, the Mythology brand is a tribute to the Heritage of Greece. Mythology's Extra Virgin Olive Oil is PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certified, ensuring that the products are true to their roots and consistently maintain outstanding quality.

The Greeks were the first to cultivate the olive tree around 2500 BC, and during the Minoan Era in Crete, olive oil served as the foundation of the Cretan economy. Archaeological discoveries at Knossos from the Minoan Era have revealed that the ancient Greeks treated olives and produced oil, which they often exported to the islands of the Aegean and central Greece.

What sets this Extra Virgin Olive Oil apart is the cold extraction process, which preserves the best characteristics of the olive. Utilizing traditional harvesting methods for optimum quality and flavor, the selected olives are handpicked under pristine conditions and then mechanically cold-pressed at the mill, resulting in this superior category of Olive Oil.

Olive Oil is a crucial ingredient for healthy, wholesome living, as it contains monounsaturated fatty acids that have been shown to increase "good" (HDL) cholesterol and reduce "bad" (LDL) cholesterol, according to the American Heart Association.

The Kolymvari Extra Virgin Olive Oil PDO is a product with a Protected Destination of Origin from the area of Kolymvari, Crete. The olive trees with their lustrous green and silver leaves stand peacefully overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, nourished by mineral-rich soil and year-long sunshine, providing the perfect climate to produce the highest quality olives.

Mythology Extra Virgin Olive Oil is first cold-pressed, ensuring the highest and purest quality with an incredibly low acidity of 0.5%. Harvested from 3,000-year-old olive trees on the island of Crete, the koroneiki variety of olives has been cultivated for centuries in the Kolymvari region.

The short time between harvest and unrefined oil processing has resulted in an unalterable Greek olive oil that maintains all its constituents, its golden green hue, its fruity aroma, and the flavors from the freshly harvested fruit. Mythology EVOO is a high-quality, pure olive oil perfect for sautéing and cooking your favorite dishes, and its beautiful tin can makes it a great Greek gift or a proud display on your counter.

Produced with the finest quality of olives, Mythology's olive oil is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats and high in polyphenols, making it a healthy addition to a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.
