Radicalement différente

Excellence phénolique

TERROIR

Le terroir unique de Chypre rehausse encore nos huiles d'olive. Bénie d'une géologie qu'on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs dans le monde, combinée à un climat méditerranéen et à la proximité de la mer, nos oliveraies baignent dans des conditions idéales pour la culture des olives. La chaleur intense de nos étés, tempérée par les brises marines rafraîchissantes, confère à nos olives une richesse et une profondeur de saveur inégalées ailleurs.

EXTRACTION DE POINTE

Nos olives sont récoltées à leur maturité optimale, cueillies à la main tôt dans la saison pour capturer leurs saveurs et bienfaits santé optimaux. Rapidement transportées dans des camions réfrigérés, elles subissent une extraction à froid dans notre moulin ultramoderne. Ici, un temps de malaxation minimal assure la préservation de leur saveurs délicates et des composés phénoliques, résultant en une expérience gustative sans pareille et la plus haute teneur en composés phénoliques disponible.

PERMACULTURE

Au cœur de notre huile d'olive d'exception se trouve notre engagement envers des pratiques de culture durables. En adoptant les méthodes de la permaculture, nous accordons la priorité à la biodiversité, favorisant un écosystème harmonieux où la vie végétale, les insectes et la faune prospèrent. Notre politique "zéro-tuer" et notre non-utilisation de pesticides, biologiques ou autres, soulignent notre dévouement à la gérance environnementale.

CARBONE NEGATIVE

Notre huile d'olive n'est pas seulement neutre en carbone, elle est carbone négative. De la culture à la distribution, nous séquestrons plus de carbone que nous n'en émettons, luttant activement contre le changement climatique. Pour chaque litre de nos huiles d'olive, ce sont 16 kg de carbone qui sont séquestrés dans nos oliveraies.

Et avec une traçabilité complète de l'oliveraie à la table, vous pouvez avoir confiance que chaque bouteille incarne nos valeurs de qualité, d'intégrité et de responsabilité environnementale.

Nicholas Schizas

Coming from the UK, producing olive oil was the last thing Nick ever thought he would be involved in. However, when studies came out in 2011 about all the health benefits High Phenolic Olive Oil offers, it grabbed his attention to the point that he had to follow his past generations and set his focus upon the olive oil industry.

Nick originally worked in the football industry and was a licensed FIFA agent to professional football players across major leagues in Europe, Asia, North and South America.

Since giving some High Phenolic for players to try and the positive response they gave, in addition to the feedback from friends and family, he had to turn his focus on naturally developing high levels of polyphenols in olive oil.

Nick has maintained olive groves in the Solea region of Cyprus since 2013 and sharing the strong values of the Oleaphen team, is now focused on helping people to develop their whole wellness spectrum in order to get that competitive advantage in life.
