Natural and organic olive cultivation
The olive oil comes from the Kalamata region, where olive cultivation is carried out in a 100% natural and ecological way. This is why our olive oil has such an exceptional taste and aroma, and is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins A, E, D, and K, as well as antioxidants.
Dark glass to preserve quality
The bottle is made of dark glass, which helps preserve the properties of the olive oil for longer, and the cloudiness and tiny olive particles are proof of its high quality.
Meticulous approach to production
Our olive oil is also a combination of tradition and modernity. Olives from 300-year-old trees are cold-pressed, and the production process, from cultivation through harvesting, pressing, and bottling, is carried out meticulously to provide you with a product of unique taste and aroma.

A deep golden color with a greenish hue and natural cloudiness along with tiny olive particles are proof of the high value of our olive oil. It is also distinguished by its distinct, pleasant aroma. This is a top-quality product, produced in the vicinity of Kalamata, a place famous for excellent olive oil varieties.

Frequently Asked Questions about Greek Olive Oil

Each has a unique flavor profile reflecting the region from which it comes.
3. How to choose the right olive oil for different uses?
- For salads and cold dishes: choose an Extra Virgin olive oil with an intense, fruity taste, which will work best in dressings and marinades.
- For frying and baking: lighter Virgin olive oil varieties are more suitable due to their higher smoke point.
- For dips and sauces: flavored olive oils with added herbs, garlic, or chili will add a unique character.
- For exquisite dishes: regional olive oils with protected designation of origin will emphasize the character of exceptional dishes.
4. Why is it worth paying more for high-quality olive oil?
Investing in high-quality Greek olive oil is an investment in health and taste. Higher quality olive oils:
- Contain more antioxidants and health-promoting compounds
- Offer a richer, more complex flavor profile
- Are produced with greater attention to detail and the environment
- Have certificates confirming their authenticity and quality
- Support traditional, often family-run producers
5. How to store olive oil to preserve its properties?
To ensure olive oil retains its unique taste and nutritional value, you should:
- Store it in a dark, cool place (12-18°C)
- Protect it from direct sunlight
- Keep it away from heat sources (oven, stove)
- Seal the bottle tightly after each use
- Ideally, choose olive oil in dark glass bottles
- Use within 6-12 months of opening
6. What are the health benefits of regular olive oil consumption?

- Reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases
- Lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) levels
- Supporting digestive system health
- Strengthening the immune system

7. Are all olive oils in the Greckie Przysmaki store authentic Greek products?
Yes, all olive oils in our store are authentic Greek products. We cooperate directly with Greek producers or produce part of our offer ourselves. Each bottle is marked with the region of origin, and many of our olive oils have PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) or PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) certificates, which guarantee their authenticity and high quality.
8. How to recognize good quality olive oil?
Good quality olive oil:
- Has a fresh, fruity scent reminiscent of freshly cut grass or green apple
- Is characterized by a slightly spicy or bitter aftertaste (this indicates the presence of antioxidants)
- May cause a slight burning sensation in the throat (a characteristic of high oleocanthal content)
- Has a golden-green color, although color itself is not the most important indicator of quality
- Has appropriate quality certificates or geographical indications
- Is properly packaged (dark bottle, expiration date)
9. What do the terms "cold-pressed" and "first pressing" mean?
Cold-pressed means that the olive oil has been extracted from olives at a temperature below 27°C, which allows for the preservation of maximum aroma, taste, and nutritional values.
First pressing (Extra Virgin) means that the olive oil comes from the first mechanical pressing of the olive fruits, without the use of chemical methods or high temperatures, and its acidity does not exceed 0.8%.
10. How does Greek olive oil differ from other Mediterranean olive oils?
Greek olive oil, compared to other Mediterranean olive oils:
- Is often more intense and fruity in taste
- Is characterized by a higher content of polyphenols (antioxidants)
- Comes from trees often growing on stony, mountainous terrains, which gives it a unique character
- Is mainly produced from Koroneiki, Manaki, and Athinolia olive varieties, which have a characteristic flavor profile
- Is based on traditions dating back thousands of years (Greece is the cradle of olive culture)
11. Can I use Extra Virgin olive oil for frying?
Contrary to popular belief, Extra Virgin olive oil is suitable for frying at moderate temperatures (up to about 180°C). Thanks to the presence of antioxidants, it is more thermally stable than many other oils. However, to preserve the full taste and health properties, for intense frying at high temperatures, we recommend Virgin olive oils, and the highest quality Extra Virgin olive oils are best kept for raw applications where their unique taste will fully develop.
12. What are olive oils with a protected designation of origin?
Olive oils with a protected designation of origin (PDO - Protected Designation of Origin) are products whose entire production process - from olive cultivation to bottling - takes place in a specific geographical region and in accordance with traditional methods. This designation guarantees the authenticity and high quality of the product. Our offer includes, among others, PDO olive oils from the regions of: Kalamata, Sitia (Crete), Kolymvari (Crete), and Chania.
