Our oil
The extra virgin olive oil is produced from selected traditional crops of small farmers.
The region of Achaia is a country rich in tradition in production of prime oil. Here, the famous varieties Koroneiki,
Koutsoureli, Mothonia and Lianolia are cultivated. The particular characteristics of the soil and local microclimate
are the two main pillars of reputation of the olive tree in the mountainous Achaia. The oil quality is based on
traditional farming methods.
The crop remains unchanged for thousands of years; the olives are watered by seasonal rains and produce small
but extremely high-quality crops.
The careful selection of fruit followed by the first extraction and production of the product with excellent flavour and
rich aroma are invaluable.
The main concern of Eurobrazil is the quality that will provide to the table of the family, delicious, healthy and
above all, Greek olive oil. This quality is ensured through continuous cooperation with our producers, and quality
checks always offering this year's olive harvest.
We bottle our oil in glass bottles of 500ml and in smaller capacity if requested.

Olive tree
The history of the olive tree is the same as that of the oil.
The olive was first used as food in 3500 BC during the Early Minoan period. Since then, 5500 years have passed
and little has changed.
For centuries, the preferred tree of the Mediterranean area, olive, coexists with the people of the Mediterranean,
has been associated with the routine and habits, and having overcome the limits of the landscape, has left its
traces in all cultures developed on the coast of the Mediterranean. Furthermore, the olive is the fruit of the
branches wreaths were made for the winners of the Olympic Games and the precious juice, olive oil, was the prize
for the winners of the famous Panathenaic Games in honour of the goddess Athena. The extra virgin olive oil has
more advantages compared to all other fatty substances consumed by humans. Moreover, it has a beneficial effect
on growth and protects the human body, since its nutritional value is great and meaningful.
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, valuable in the synthesis of lipids, which supply chemical energy in
human cells, the "structural" material of our body. It has a positive impact on growth and body growth, but also in
the pursuit of anti-aging and has a high percentage of vitamin E. It reduces cholesterol and prevents the hardening
of the arteries, atherosclerosis
