I grew up right across from Greece, in Egypt which is another great civilization. My wife however, grew up in Greece and I have had the great pleasure to travel there almost yearly for over a decade now. I immediately fell in love with the beauty of this country and of course the food and it wasn’t long before I realized what a vital role the Greek Olive oil plays in the Mediterranean diet and the taste of all the Greek dishes!
Greek olive oil contains more polyphenols than extra virgin olive oils of other countries. Polyphenols are antioxidants which can reduce the risk of developing a number of health problems such as cardiovascular issues, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and even cancer. Greek extra virgin olive oil is of exceptional quality, aroma, taste, and is also low in acidity. The oil comes from the first pressing of the olives, and no chemicals or water is added during processing.
Knowing all the health benefits that Greek olive oil offers and its exceptional taste, the quest for bringing the best quality Extra Virgin Greek Olive Oil to you started. And this is how SOULTANA’ S GREEK OLIVE OIL was born.
