The oil is 100% pure & organically grown. The oil is produced from a variety of olives called Koroneiki, which produces a small fruit. The high ratio of skin to flesh gives this variety a special coveted aromatic quality. The oil we import is pure and natural juice of the olives that is superior to every other fatty substance. This natural juice is produced from the olive tree fruit (olives) by crushing and pressing without the addition of chemical refinements or further processes.
