Volvi Estate, the oil that nourishes our body and beauty.

When King Cecrops decided that the gift of the goddess Athena was more valuable than the gift of the god Poseidon and named the city Athens, the olive tree is still considered a divine gift to this day and its symbolism as a tree of goodness gives it a special place.

The olive tree is truly a gift of nature . Since ancient times it has been associated with everyday life and has been praised as few trees. Its fruit and olive oil are the absolute protagonists of the Mediterranean diet and its health benefits are numerous. Homer called olive oil "golden liquid" while Hippocrates, Asclepius and Theophrastus (who is considered the father of botany due to his works on plants) spoke of its therapeutic properties.

Olive oil, the pure secret of beauty

A long time ago, Jennifer Lopez, one of the most impressive and sexy women, revealed that her secret to her flawless skin is not an expensive cream but olive oil. However, this common secret has been known for centuries. In ancient Greece, it was essential for daily hygiene and body care. Women used it to cleanse their skin and as a moisturizer after bathing. While men used it to lubricate their bodies before sports or before going into battle. Just so you know, olive oil is a natural source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. It contains vitamins E (tocopherol), A , K , and D, which have antioxidant properties preventing premature aging. Due to its composition, it has the ability to prevent transdermal water loss, locking in moisture, so that the skin remains hydrated and elastic.

The unique Volvi Estate

There are many olive oils. But there is one that stands out and I recommend it to you. The wild olive oil of the Volvi Estate . It is produced from 60,000 wild olive trees that have been growing on the estate for centuries, untouched by human intervention, without pesticides, fertilization or irrigation except with the protection of the mild microclimate of the lake and the nearby mountain range, the help of the sun and rain and the love, care and passion of Vivi Markomichelaki, who, together with her daughter Athena, made the great decision to utilize the huge area of 4,200 acres next to Lake Volvi, within a protected Natura area that she inherited from her great-grandfather Ioannis Dimitrakopoulos. Completely organic , unfiltered and with a high concentration of phenols that far exceeds that defined by the European Union regulation for the protection of blood lipids, the Volvi Estate wild olive oil is a superfood ally of health. By consuming 10g per day we ensure the maximum antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective and neuroprotective action . And if you want your face to shine, to provide deep hydration to the skin and to soften wrinkles, wear it! In the evening, after cleansing, put a small amount on your fingertips (personally I prefer it instead of using cotton) and spread it by making a light massage.
