General information
- Short Summary
- Greek company with over 50 years’ experience in producing olive oil is looking for importer-distributors to commercialise its healthy oil products.
- Full Description
-
This family-owned business has been operating its olive oil mill for over 5 decades and it has built up significant experience in the field of olive oil production. It is located in a mountainous region in the south of Greece. The company has now passed down to the third generation, which is continuing to maintain the same values, principles and knowledge.
The company’s extra virgin olive oil is made from 3 varieties of olive: koroneiki, ladolia and organic (properly preserved in specially-certified tanks). It is specifically offering the following products from its range:-
- extra virgin olive oil in 500ml, 1l & 5l packaging for retail as well as 1l & 5l for restaurants
- it can also offer 10l sunflower oil
- polyphenolic extra virgin olive oil food supplement in 150ml.
All the olive oil produced by the company is kept in tanks sealed with nitrogen. One of the special features of the company’s products is its intense aroma and slightly spicy taste. These characteristics are only noticeable in olive oils of high nutritional value. The company even has a certain amount of olive oil produced from olive trees of up to 300 years old.
The company premises are ISO 22000 2018 certified.
Scientific research and clinical studies have been carried out in collaboration with the World Olive Center in order to focus on the beneficial properties of the company’s products.
The client wishes to expand its activities abroad and reach discerning health-conscious customers. Therefore, it is interested in establishing commercial agreements with importer-distributors. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Studies carried out in collaboration with one of the oldest universities in Greece and also with a well-known university in the US, clearly show the unique characteristics of the company’s olive oil and in particular the following:-
• this polyphenolic olive oil has antioxidant and beneficial properties for the human body
• it contains high concentrations of oleasin and oleocanthal, which are the two substances known to have beneficial effects on the body
• regular consumption of this type of olive oil that is rich in oleocanthal can help reduce the accumulation of blood platelets, thus reducing possible cardiac problems and lowering cholesterol.
• although the research is still in its early stages, there are some indications that it reduces the chances of developing Alzheimer's.
Additional research has also shown:-
• the effect on platelet aggregation is strongly linked to the inhibition of specific enzymes involved in the inflammation process. Therefore, the change in the aggregation of blood platelets and the consequent cardiovascular protection depends on the precise phenolic composition of each olive oil.
• oleasin inhibits the formation of foam cells in macrophages derived from human monocytes and thus can be a valuable tool for the prevention of early and advanced atherosclerotic lesions.
The company’s olive oil polyphenols supplements help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. The is due to the fact that it contains at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. complex of oleoeuropein and tyrosol) per 20 g of olive oil. The beneficial effects for the consumer are ensured with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil. - Stage of Development
