The Aromas and Tastes
Much like fine wine, the following tastes and aromas naturally occur in our "Family Reserve Organic - Robust" due to various factors, such as harvest date, olive grove micro-climate, location and variety. Absolutely nothing is added to this pure, extra virgin olive oil. Take a sip and see if you can identify these flavors: Cut Grass, Oregano, Green Pepper, Tomato Stem, Arugula, Lemon and Mint.
The Health Benefits
Antioxidants
Studies have shown that the antioxidants found in Extra Virgin Olive Oil may help prevent many diseases. In fact, the anti-inflammatory phenolic compound, oleocanthal, which is found in extra virgin olive oil, has the same properties as commercial pain-killers. Our "Family Reserve Organic - Robust" has one of the highest phenolic contents in the world that a true extra virgin olive oil can boast, with a flavor that is pleasant and award-winning.
The Health Benefits
(Good) Fats
Around 75% of extra virgin olive oil is comprised of heart healthy Monounsaturated Fats (MUFAs). These are vital to support our nervous system, build immunity and power our brain! Evoo also contains vitamins, such as E and K, and helps protect “bad” LDL cholesterol from oxidation.
The Olives
Olympia & Koroneiki
These varieties have been traditionally cultivated around the semi-mountainous areas of the Western Peloponnese for over ten centuries, the robust terrain helping to grow and shape this hearty species. The Koroneiki olives are known for their high quality and aromatic oil; and the Olympia compliments these characteristics with one of the highest phenolic contents in the world achievable by a true, extra virgin olive oil.
To produce our "Family Reserve Organic - Robust" we harvest the olives very early (October) when the fruits are still green in color. Although this gives a very low and costly yield of around 10% (meaning that 10kg of olives will produce 1kg of oil), it helps us achieve our desired very high antioxidant levels and delicious, robust taste.

Organic Olives
Consuming evoo is all about improving your health and doing so in the most natural way. This is why all of our products are also strictly Non GMO and BPA Free.
-
Vegan
Our production process is 100% animal-free so you can pour to your heart’s delight knowing that our beloved animals can enjoy licking up our oil as much as we do.
-
No Additives
When something is so great on its own, why add anything else? Our bottles contain just the pure, precious nectar of olive fruits that are ripened from the warmth of the Grecian sun.
-
Hand Harvested
It’s the old-fashioned way, but the best way. Each olive is hand selected and then carefully plucked so as to protect both the fruit and the fruit tree from being harmed in the process.
