More Info

Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Hellenic Sun is a high-quality oil obtained solely through mechanical extraction methods without chemical treatments, preserving its rich composition of beneficial fatty acids and bioactive compounds. It contains a balanced profile of monounsaturated fats, predominantly oleic acid, along with polyunsaturated fats, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants like oleuropein and oleocanthal. These components confer a stable oil with excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation, making it suitable for both raw uses, such as salad dressings, and cooking methods including frying. The oil’s natural antioxidants also provide anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and antimicrobial properties.

This extra virgin olive oil offers a distinctive flavor profile that typically includes fruity, slightly peppery, and herbaceous notes, enhancing the sensory quality of dishes. Its complexity and freshness come from the careful cold extraction process that retains its natural aromas and taste. Ideal for Mediterranean cuisine, it complements vegetables, meats, and bread while contributing to a healthy diet with benefits such as reduced LDL cholesterol and protection against oxidative stress. Its versatility and nutritional richness make it a prized ingredient in everyday cooking and gourmet applications alike.
