Extra virgin olive oil ATSAS

Olive trees are grown in an organic farm in Cyprus, where advanced sustainable farming methods are practiced, based on the latest discoveries in biochemistry. No chemical fertilizers are used here - the soil is fertilized with natural compost and enriched with beneficial microorganisms.

The olives are harvested by hand and usually, it takes not more than 30 minutes from the time they are plucked from the tree until the oil extraction begins. This is done to preserve as much of the beneficial compounds as possible and to protect the olives from the inevitable oxidation and fermentation processes that occur during storage in the warehouse.

What makes the extra virgin cold-pressed ATSAS olive oil more valuable than conventional olive oil? This oil contains a particularly high concentration of biologically active components - powerful natural antioxidants known as polyphenols.
