Premium Greek Olive Oil From Crete

Mythology, the brand that places quality above all else, pays tribute to the heritage of Greece. The Mythology Brand only places its name on products that meet the strictest quality standards. Their Extra Virgin Olive Oil is PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certified, giving buyers confidence that the products are true to their roots and consistently maintain outstanding levels of quality.

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 shown that the Greeks treated olives and produced oil, which they stored in earthenware jars and amphoras, and often exported to the islands of the Aegean and central Greece.

What makes this Extra Virgin Olive Oil unique is the cold extraction process, which preserves the best characteristics of the olive. Using traditional harvesting methods for optimum quality and flavor, and being environmentally conscientious, the selected olives are handpicked under pristine conditions. The olive fruit is then brought to the mill, where it is mechanically cold pressed, producing this superior category of Olive Oil.

Olive Oil in our daily diet is one of the main ingredients for healthy, wholesome living. It contains monounsaturated fatty acids which have been shown to increase your health by boosting 'good' (HDL) and reducing 'bad' cholesterol (HDL)*, as per the information obtained from the American Heart Association in 2020.

The Kolymvari Extra Virgin Olive Oil PDO is a product with a Protected Destination of Origin from the area of Kolymvari, Crete. It comes from Family Groves, where the olive trees with their lustrous green and silver leaves stand peacefully overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. This PDO certification is awarded by AGROCERT in 2020.

Nourished by mineral-rich soil and wrapped in year-long sunshine, the Island of Crete offers the perfect climate to produce the highest quality olives that are harvested to produce Mythology Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Mythology EVOO is first cold-pressed, ensuring the highest and purest quality with an incredibly low acidity of 0.5%. The olives are hand-picked from 3000-year-old trees on the island of Crete, Greece, of the koroneiki variety, which have been harvested for centuries from olive groves 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 great for sautéing and cooking your favorite dishes. Packaged in a beautiful tin can, it is a great Greek gift or can be proudly displayed on your counter. Produced with the finest quality of olives, the 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.
