2013 Product Catalog
Pronounced [ you-lōh-gee-uh ] and directly translated from Greek meaning “blessing.” Eulogia began in 2012 under the philosophy that specific geographic regions are “blessed” with natural attributes that allow them to cultivate superior quality products due to their climate, terrain, resources and overall natural placement in the world. Some countries can produce the best coffee beans; others the best wine. In Greece we are truly blessed to be able to produce the world’s best quality olive oil and honey.

Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Classic Hellenism To walk through the groves of ancient Sparta is to experience a heightened sense of awareness and complete immersion within nature making the senses perk up and come to life like never before. At first one will see a pristine land untouched by modern man as if time itself has ceased to exist here, followed by a calming silence that gently amplifies into the sounds we have selectively removed from our busy day to day lives. As you walk, you somehow feel lighter than before, unsure if it’s the soft, yet fertile earth that’s pushing back up with each step taken or if you are somewhat intoxicated by all the wonderful smells of the trees and wildflowers that you swear you can almost taste. There’s still something else lingering there; something that is a bit difficult put in a words other than a ‘sixth sense.’ It’s as if our Greek history, culture and tradition are right there in those very groves, almost palpable and amalgamating with our traditional senses. Come take a walk with us. 4

Eulogia is hand-picked from family owned olive groves that are grown under natural, sustainable production cycles in the mineral rich Spartan soil. A masterful blend of Koroneiki and Athinolia olives produce a gorgeous golden green color with a low acidity making it one of the finest olive oils in the world. Bursting with a fresh olive taste and equally strong aroma, bold fruity notes are initially realized. As the flavor arcs, hints of fresh cut grass, bitter dandelion greens and a slight nutty characteristic are detected with attributes of medium intensity and a strong yet balanced peppery finish. • Certified Organic • Maximum .3% Acidity • Protected Geographical Indication (PGI Lakonia)

Premium Raw Greek Honey
Experience Immortality It was raw Greek honey collected near the cave Ideon Andron in Crete that nursed Zeus as an infant as well as honey and nectar given to Apollo’s own son to help him achieve immortality. This Greek honey has remained unchanged and is still being produced by bees scattered all over Greece ranging from remote forests, wild mountainsides and even entire uninhabited islands in the Aegean. Home to more than 6,000 different plant species with roughly 750 being indigenous, the Greek floral landscape is as dramatic and diverse as its own mythology. While farm-to-table restaurants may be a relatively new dining concept, bees have been doing this for millions of years. Venturing out from their hives into the vast Greek floral landscape our honeybees search everywhere within a three mile radius for the ingredient to craft their unique honey: Nectar. Depending on the flower source that the nectar is extracted from ultimately determines its unique flavor characteristics and subtle nuances that set it apart from other honeys; even those produced from a neighboring village. A monofloral honey is produced when there is a predominant flower source within the vicinity of the hive and the majority of the nectar collected by the bees is from the same flower blossoms. Unlike our winged friends who are limited in their travel distance, we are free to roam all over Greece in order to source and curate the best and most unique honey. Our honeys are unheated and raw in order to maintain all of their health benefits and we’re sure to work with sustainable and ethical beekeepers who treat their bees and the environment with respect. 10

Limited Edition Organic Fir Honey
“Gorgeous appearance and lovely flavor. Great Package” “Unique Taste” “Very Delicious” “Velvety Texture”
2013 sofiTM Award finalists judges
Our award-winning Eulogia Organic Greek Fir honey is harvested in the Mainalo mountain region of Greece. Unlike traditional honey which is created when bees collect nectar from flowers, our fir honey is created from the honeydew left behind by microorganisms that extract and feed on the sap of the fir tree. Much care is needed not only to harvest the honey, but for the bees themselves in order to maintain a balance within this unique ecosystem found nowhere else. This rare, raw honey is a product of organic farming and the only honey from Greece with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) distinction from the European Union for its authenticity and uniqueness. Its exclusivity, thick caramel-like texture and pearlescent luster make this a worldclass honey bursting with extraordinary flavor and aroma, unlike any other honey.
