OVERVIEW
All Powerful, Omnipotent Olive Oil
Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and healthy fats that protect against free radical damage.
All you need is olive oil in your routine for complete and total self care.
Our desert island product. If we could choose one product, simple, widely available for everyone to have in their apothecary this would be it.
We ensure our olive oil is cold pressed, extra virgin, single origin, organic, unrefined, unfiltered, and 100% ultra high quality (which is why it is a bit more expensive than the olive oil you may find on the shelf in the grocery store).
Use for top to bottom moisture.
APPEARANCE
Botanical Appearance In Nature
Olive trees have a striking, ancient beauty, often found in Mediterranean landscapes with their gnarled trunks and silvery-green leaves.
Their twisted, weathered bark tells a story of resilience, as many olive trees live for centuries, some even millennia.
The leaves are narrow and leathery, shimmering in the sunlight with a silvery underside that helps them conserve water in dry climates.
In spring, small white flowers bloom, giving way to clusters of green olives that ripen to deep purple or black.
Appearance In The Bottle Post Extraction
Olive oil glows like liquid sunshine, its golden hue shimmering with a touch of green, as if from an ancient sunlit grove.
AROMA
Essence of the Earth
The aroma of olive oil dances through the air carrying whispers of sun-ripened olives fresh grass, and the earthy notes of nature's bounty.
CONSISTENCY
Light/Medium
Olive oil is not heavy and highly absorbent when applied to the skin.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
Greece - Olive Oil
At VILES we love Greek olive oil. Renowned for its superior quality and high nutritional value, it is said to be the finest in the world.
Sourced from local organic small scale farmers, on the foothills of Taygetos mountain, Kalamon olives grow with the best conditions in regards to soil, micro climate and care from the organic farmers.
The olives are harvested carefully by hand, selected one on one and cured over a period of several months in pure water accounts an incomparable result.
This olive oil is very special and ultra high quality.
Single origin. Extra virgin. Cold pressed. Unprocessed.
CULTIVATION
Cultivation Practice
100% certified organic. From small farms that are family-owned and operated in Greece.
Growing Conditions
Olives in Greece thrive in the country's Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.
Olive trees are hardy and can withstand drought, making them ideal for the often arid conditions.
They grow best in sunny, open areas with little to no frost, as they require plenty of sunlight for optimal fruit development.
The long history of olive cultivation in Greece, along with traditional farming practices passed down through generations, contributes to the exceptional quality of Greek olive oil.
