Vilgain Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - cold‑pressed oil, produced by a traditional family company in Greece

Vilgain extra virgin olive oil of organic quality is produced by a traditional family company in Rethymno, Crete. The best quality olives are handpicked from the koroneiki tree - the king of olive trees. To guarantee 100% quality, purity and freshness, we source directly from the producer, have the product tested regularly and do not use any commercial intermediaries.

Plenty of health benefits

For maximum preservation of the health benefits, the olives are cold pressed into olive oil. Thanks to this processing method, the oil has approximately 100 times the polyphenol content of refined olive oil and approximately 10 times the content of olive pomace oil.

Olive oil contains a high content of healthy unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid. Replacing saturated fats in the diet with unsaturated fats helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. In addition, olive oil contains other bioactive substances, such as squalene, phytosterols, vitamin E, and several beneficial polyphenols, including flavonoids.

One theory is that the Mediterranean diet's high proportion of olive oil explains its low incidence of cardiovascular disease.

A great ingredient for cold dishes

Olive oil can withstand heat treatment, but its beneficial substances are best preserved when used cold. It has a distinctive fruity aroma and a typical olive taste. You can drizzle it over a vegetable salad or add it to a dressing or vinaigrette.
