A Guide to Greek Olives & Olive Oil

Discover the Exceptional Quality of EORA Olive Oil

At EORA, our mission is to bring you olive oil that stands above the rest in both flavor and health benefits. Sourced from the sun-kissed groves of Laconia, Greece, our extra virgin olive oil is a blend of the finest Koroneiki (80%) and Athinoelia (20%) olives. These varieties are renowned for their rich flavor profiles and high polyphenol content, ensuring a product that not only enhances your dishes but also supports your well-being.

A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

The production of EORA olive oil is a meticulous process rooted in centuries of tradition, combined with modern techniques to ensure the highest quality. Our olives are harvested at their peak and cold-extracted on the same day, preserving their natural properties and vibrant flavors. The oil is stored under strictly controlled temperature conditions, adhering to the highest sanitary standards. The ideal climate and fertile soil of Laconia allow our producers to use traditional cultivation techniques while leveraging advanced equipment, resulting in an olive oil of unparalleled quality.

What Makes Our Olive Oil Stand Out?

EORA olive oil exceeds industry standards in key areas that define the quality of extra virgin olive oil:

Low Acidity

Acidity is a critical measure of olive oil quality. The legal limit for extra virgin olive oil is 0.8%, but EORA boasts an acidity level of below 0.4%, thanks to careful cultivation, clean fruit handling, and precise extraction methods. This low acidity enhances both the flavor and health benefits of our oil.

Exceptional Polyphenol Content

Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties. For olive oil to be classified as high in polyphenols, it must contain at least 250mg/kg. EORA surpasses this requirement with a remarkable 719mg/kg, offering an extraordinary boost to your health and longevity.

Oleocanthal and Oleacein Levels

EORA olive oil is rich in oleocanthal (274 mg/kg) and oleacein (127 mg/kg), two compounds linked to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective benefits. Together, they achieve a combined index of 401 mg/kg, far exceeding the average values reported in international studies.

Peroxide Values

The peroxide value reflects the freshness of olive oil, with a legal limit of 20 meq O2/kg. EORA’s peroxide levels are consistently below 13, ensuring optimal freshness and superior quality.

Commitment to Excellence

EORA’s dedication to quality extends beyond taste. Our olive oil complies with EU Regulation 432/2012, providing over 14mg of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, and their derivatives per 20g serving. This makes it a powerful protector against oxidative stress, supporting cardiovascular health and overall well-being.

A Culinary and Nutritional Treasure

The result of this meticulous process is an olive oil with a mild, juicy taste, a golden-green hue, and a legacy of excellence. Whether drizzled over salads, paired with bread, or used in cooking, EORA olive oil elevates every meal while delivering unmatched health benefits.
