quality
Greek Legend Kolektiva oil maintains a high standard of quality, but is produced in a collaboration of several farmers from the same region.

These regions, such as Sitia, **Heraklion** and others, compete in a friendly way to create a unique oil that reflects the craftsmanship and traditions of the Greek Legend Alliance community of farmers.

Although it is co-produced, each step meets Greek Legend's strict quality standards, including temperature control, processing times and storage conditions.

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.
