Oil influence

Across Greece, sunlight, elevation, sea winds, rainfall, and harvest timing shape each oil differently. These conditions influence aromatic intensity, fruit character, bitterness, peppery notes, and the overall balance and stability of the final olive oil.

Soil

Greek olive groves grow on a mosaic of limestone hills, red Mediterranean soils, island terraces, mountain slopes, and fertile alluvial plains. This geological diversity creates distinct growing environments across the country's olive regions.

We and other producers

Other producers

Greek Legend

Crop care

Farmer/Breeder: the motivation is the volume of the crop.

Greek Legend Alliance Community Farmers: motivation is the quality of the olives, the collaboration of the region's farmers to create a unique flavor of oil.

Harvest time

At the farmer's discretion: the goal is to maximize oil volume.

In accordance with Greek Legend standards: the goal is oil quality

Recycling timeframe

Depending on the workload of the oil mill: a delay in processing olives inevitably deteriorates the quality of the oil.

Processing olives within 2 hours of picking: timely processing helps to preserve the maximum quality of the harvest.

Spin temperature

40 °C (about 50% of the crop): higher temperature increases the oil yield but reduces its quality and destroys useful substances. This is advantageous for the producer, but deteriorates the product.

27 °C (100% yield): Greek Legend controls the pressing temperature to preserve the nutrients and quality of the oil. Farmers are motivated by premiums and retro bonuses.

Blending

Yes (more than 85%): blending oils from different regions and seasons.

None (100%): Greek Legend Kolektiva farmers produce the oil exclusively from their region's harvest, keeping the flavor unique and authentic.

Storage conditions

Oil mill/at home: no guarantee of oil storage conditions.

Specialized storage: the oil is stored under controlled conditions to preserve freshness and quality until bottling.

Kolektiva is a family-friendly oil that keeps foods healthy and naturally flavorful.
