Greece has more than 132 million olive trees and produces approximately 350,000 tonnes of olive oil per annum, hence its reputation for prolific olive production. A staple source of fat in Mediterranean cuisine, olive oil is rich in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, thereby aiding a healthy diet. Kolymvari Extra Virgin Olive Oil (made from olives grown on the island of Crete) uses 75% Koroneiki and 25% Tsounati olives. The composition of the region’s soil, combined with the island’s unique microclimate, makes it the perfect environment for producing a high
quality olive crop. Acidity is one of the key elements that defines its commercial value; the lower the acidity, the better the product. Bevelini’s Kolymvari Extra Virgin Olive Oil’s acidity content never exceeds 0.8%. Its PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status is a clear indication of provenance.
