Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a premium product derived from century-old Koroneiki olive trees grown in the fertile lands of the Peloponnese, Greece. Sourced from ancient groves in the region of Messene, this exquisite olive oil represents the rich history and heritage of Greek olive cultivation. Every bottle of Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil delivers unmatched flavor, purity, and quality, making it the ideal choice for both everyday use and gourmet culinary experiences.
As a high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), Mezana sets itself apart with its cold-pressed extraction method, which ensures that all the essential nutrients, antioxidants, and natural flavors are preserved. The oil is extracted within hours of harvesting, guaranteeing optimal freshness and a superior taste profile.
Why Choose Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
1. Koroneiki Olive Variety: Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made exclusively from Koroneiki olives, often referred to as the "Queen of Olives." Known for their high oil content and robust flavor, Koroneiki olives are considered one of the best varieties for producing extra virgin olive oil. The olives are small but packed with flavor, yielding an oil that is fruity, slightly peppery, and has a smooth finish. This unique variety ensures that Mezana olive oil stands out for its taste, health benefits, and versatility in cooking.
2. Region of Peloponnese – A Historic Olive Growing Hub: The Peloponnese, specifically the ancient region of Messene, is famous for producing some of the best olives in the world. The area’s Mediterranean climate, rich soil, and centuries-old cultivation practices have helped create a landscape that is ideal for growing Koroneiki olives. Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil captures the essence of this region, bringing you an oil that is as rich in history as it is in flavor.
3. Cold-Pressed for Maximum Freshness: Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cold-pressed, which means it is extracted without the use of heat or chemicals. This method ensures that the oil retains all its natural goodness, including the healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants like polyphenols. Cold pressing also preserves the full, fruity aroma and peppery finish that makes extra virgin olive oil so sought after. The result is an oil that is pure, unadulterated, and bursting with flavor.
4. Health Benefits of Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants, Mezana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is more than just a culinary staple—it’s a health booster. Some of the key health benefits include:
- Supports Heart Health: The high content of monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, is linked to reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of heart disease.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Mezana is packed with polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to fight oxidative stress in the body.
- Promotes Healthy Digestion: Olive oil has been used for centuries to support digestive health, aiding in the smooth functioning of the digestive system.
- Weight Management: Using extra virgin olive oil as part of a balanced diet can help with weight management due to its satiating effects and ability to regulate cholesterol levels.
