It’s been a century since the ancestors of the founders of Goutis Estate planted the first olive trees at the historic land of Olympia, the birthplace of Olympic Games, which enriched the history of mankind, protothema.gr reports.
An olive wreath was the prize of the winner at the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece. The holly tree of Goddess Athena, whose fruits have become the synonym of health and wellness, produces a famous virgin olive oil.
Few years ago, a group of people, who didn’t forget tradition, decided to plant more olive trees of varieties that have conquered the world winning gold medals at global olive oil competitions in London, New York and Tokyo.
In countries, where it is difficult to win over the market, Greek olive oil producers, have invested in the most modern methods of extraction so that the traditional varieties can comply faithfully with the rules of a healthy diet.
In a recent olive oil competition in London 16 experts from 11 countries tasted and evaluated 426 olive oils from all over the planet.
