What makes our olive oil so valuable and why it is only available in limited quantities
The olives for Avramidis Olive Oil 100years do not grow in huge olive tree plantations. The olive oil is produced here primarily for the personal use of the Icarians (residents of Ikaria), who demonstrably live longer than average and are healthy through the consumption of the rich olive oil. The oil that we or our neighbors do not need for our own kitchen is available in our online shop and recently also in some delicatessens.
The production of our olive oil
Olive oil from Koroneiki olives - probably the highest quality olive oil in the world!
Our Avramidis olive oil is made exclusively from Koroneiki olives. Koroneiki olive oil is one of the best olive oils in the world, both in terms of taste and composition. The Koroneiki olive is characterized by a very high content of the valuable unsaturated fatty acid "oleic acid" (also called oleic acid). It is one of the most important monounsaturated fatty acids, through which, among other things, blood pressure and cholesterol levels (LDL) can be reduced. In addition, unsaturated fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect, are precursors of hormones or support cell division.
Olive oil from Koroneiki olives also contains a particularly large amount of polyphenols (antioxidants) and is therefore particularly health-promoting and has a long shelf life. The oil has an aromatic scent and has a fruity, slightly nutty aroma.
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 had the dream of a place where nature can still thrive as it did 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.
Now it is our passion, the joy of life and
original power of this place, with ours
products into the world.
