Discover a Premium Organic Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil that is produced exclusively from the ancient Cretan variety called Tsounati.
Every drop of EFKRATO worthily represents the cultural & culinary wealth of Crete, the place where the olive tree was systematically cultivated for the first time ever, back in the Minoan era.
It offers a unique combination of culinary pleasure & nutritional value and it is awarded both for its richness in polyphenols (it bears the Health Claim - EU regulation 432/2012) and its organoleptic characteristics.
Harvesting takes place before the fruits ripen, in order to produce what the ancient Greeks called "ωμοτριβές" (early harvest olive oil), which from ancient times was considered to be the most nutritious olive oil.
Modern scientific studies confirm this belief: Polyphenols, the antioxidants contained in large quantities in early harvest olive oils such as EFKRATO, have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective, neuroprotective and many other health related properties.
Enjoy an exceptional extra virgin olive oil that is produced sustainably, it is healthy and delicious!
