High Phenolic Olive Oil
Harvest September-October 2024
The Story Behind Our 2024 High Phenolic Olive Oil:
The 2024 harvest of our High Phenolic Olive Oil showcases the power of nature and sustainable farming practices. This year, Cyprus faced significant environmental challenges, including a particularly dry winter followed by an intense spring heatwave. Temperatures reached unprecedented highs of 40°C as early as mid-April, presenting unique obstacles for olive cultivation. Despite these trying conditions, our olive groves demonstrated remarkable adaptability. The timing of the heatwave, occurring after the critical flowering period, allowed our olives to form and develop, safeguarding our anticipated yield. This resilience is a direct result of our commitment to regenerative agricultural techniques, which have proven invaluable in creating robust, drought-resistant ecosystems. Our sustainable practices have not only helped our trees weather the climatic extremes but have also contributed to the production of an olive oil with exceptional qualities. This year's High Phenolic Olive Oil boasts an impressive concentration of beneficial compounds, reflecting the strength and adaptability of our groves. Each bottle of our 2024 High Phenolic Olive Oil is more than just a product; it's a testament to the harmonious relationship between careful cultivation and nature's bounty. The oil encapsulates the essence of our groves' resilience, offering a unique taste profile and health benefits that are a direct result of this challenging yet rewarding growing season.
