Recommended intake

• Daily: 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml)
• As a supplement: usually 1 tablespoon per day
• Note: in the case of chronic diseases, it is advisable to consult a doctor about supplementation

Production and pressing process

• organic cultivation of Koroneiki and Myrtoelia varieties in Laconia (Peloponnese),
• early harvest ensuring the highest concentration of polyphenols,
• vacuum extraction and pressing at a temperature of up to 25°C,
• short malaxation to minimise oxidation,
• filtration and storage in stainless steel tanks with nitrogen,
• single estate production – full quality control "from grove to bottle".

Storage

To preserve the highest polyphenol content, the oil should be stored in a cool, dark place. The natural bitterness and pungency are the result of high levels of oleocanthal.
