In the Ancient Greeks’ time, olive oil was an invaluable medicine in the hands of Greek doctors. Hippocrates, considered to be the “Father of Western Medicine,” documented 60 different health conditions that could be treated with such olive oil. The Greek name “OM-PHA-KI-NON,” or “Omphacium,” was given to this class of olive oil because it is made from unripe olives.

The appreciation of extra virgin olive oil not only as food, but also for reasons such as promotion of glory  and health/beauty has been an essential part of Greek culture for millenia.
