What makes our olive oil so valuable and why it is only available in limited quantities
The olives for AVRAMIDIS olive oil aren't grown in vast olive plantations. The olive oil is produced here primarily for the personal use of the Ikarians (the inhabitants of Ikaria), who, thanks to the rich olive oil, live longer and enjoy better-than-average health. The oil that we or our neighbors don't need for their own cooking is available in our online shop.
Our unique olive oil is made from a blend of the finest Koroneiki, Kritika, and Ikariotiki olives . The result is an incomparable flavor that is both rich and healthy.

Questions we are frequently asked
Can I heat the olive oil? Olive oil can be heated up to 180°. It should be used for gentle roasting and deep-frying. If you heat it above 180°, the decomposition processes begin that destroy the valuable ingredients. If this heat point is exceeded, you may notice an unpleasant, burnt smell and smoke. Toxic, carcinogenic substances can develop.
What happens when olive oil flakes? Olive oil is not spoiled if it becomes flaky. Every healthy olive oil flakes at low temperatures of around 6-10° C. The reason is the high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. When it warms up, the olive oil becomes liquid again without any loss of quality or taste. It can also become flaky if shipped on cooler days or if the olive oil is left on a cold floor.
How long does olive oil last? If high quality olive oils are stored properly (dark, cool and dry), they can easily last up to 24 months. However, if stored incorrectly, olive oil can quickly go rancid. You can tell by the smell.
What is the fatty acid content? The fatty acid content is a value set throughout Europe. You can tell the quality of the olive oil by the acidity. Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality class. The fatty acid content of 0.8% must not be exceeded for this quality class. Avramidis® Olive Oil 100 years has a fatty acid content of between 0.1 and 0.5%, depending on the harvest year.
Is unfiltered olive oil better? Unfiltered olive oil contains significantly more healthy ingredients than filtered oil. That's why we decided to filter Avramidis® Olive Oil 100 years only through a metal sieve, which only filters out the coarse fruit parts. Otherwise it would spoil within a few weeks. The remaining cloudiness is similar to the pulp in a natural fruit juice. They are nothing negative; on the contrary, they contain a high level of healthy fats and antioxidants. The characteristic taste of the olive oil is also retained.

Why we do what we do
Although we grew up in completely different places on earth - Niko in Greece and I, Anna, in Germany - one thing has always connected us, the love of nature. Even as children we roamed through the woods. The scents, aromas and the holistic sensuality of nature accompany us to this day. In the small-town atmosphere in which we lived for many years for professional reasons, we missed this so much that we set off to find "our" paradise.
We dreamed of a place where nature could still thrive as it had hundreds of years ago and finally found it in 2015 after a 30-year search. Since then we have lived on the small island of Ikaria in the North Aegean, which is far away from civilizational influences.
Today it is our passion, the joy of life and
original power of this place, with ours
products into the world.
