Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the oldest superfoods known to man. Cleopatra was said to have used olive oil on her skin and hair, along with her other known beauty treatments such as her honey facials and milk baths.
Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it is no coincidence that Extra Virgin Olive Oil has consistently maintained it’s reputation as a health superhero. Since the dawn of time, Olive Oil has been synonymous with exceptional health, and to this day, is the mainstay of the Mediterranean diet. It is so versatile that it can be used in any dish - some people even consume it by the spoonful for medicinal purposes.
The quality of the olive fruit and the duration between harvest and press has a positive impact on the quality of the Olive Oil. Therefore at Mykini, we handpick the best fruit and cold press them within a few hours of harvest. Our trees are allowed to grow naturally without the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals. Cold pressing ensures that we retain the natural antioxidants, polyphenols and rich flavour of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
In addition to antioxidants, Extra Virgin Olive Oil contains all the good fats that can assist in improving cardiovascular health, good cholesterol, inflammation and a range of other health issues.
