This is vendema

Vendema stands for the good harvest. For the good year.

What we harvest during a period of time defines the period’s quality. It's not about how much we got, rather than what we got. Our ancestor evaluated the year by its prosperity in the olive harvest.

But it was much more than their commercial profit. It was much more than their supplies.

It was about cooperation, that a good year allowed, it was about expanding, it was about the party of the season, to work and celebrate alltogether, it was about experiencing the nature and its abundance.

The know-it-oil

  • ACIDITY

    We want it to get really low (as a tequila drunk bestie in the club). Why? A low acidity rate means that your extra virgin olive oil is fresh and also capable of self-resisting to time, keeping its phenols (health fairies) and flavour, intact.

  • HARVEST DATE

    LOOKIN FRESH is taken as a compliment for olives, too. You want your extra virgin olive oil harvested within October - November (North Hemisphere) of each year,and you want your harvest date written crystal clear on your bottle.

  • PHENOLS

    Let’s put it that way-superheroes exist in extra virgin olive oil-and by that we mean its phenolic content-aka the natural antioxidant, anti-canceric and anti-inflammatory compounds that occur in a great quality EVOO like our Vendema High Phenolic Mykonos Edition.

The oily info

Greece lies its fields in the East cove of the Mediterranean Sea.

For a minute try not to think of Mykonos.

Picture a landscape, with rocky, proud mountains surrounded by deep blue waters, windy and friendly at the same time, wild and tropical: these imply a great background for unique harvests.

Our country is the producer of the finest olive oil in the world.

The mechanics behind that, are more than what we do. It is what we are given by our land. The limestone soils of Greece combined with the exceptional weather, with mild winters and abundant sunshine, allow the best possible circumstances for the development of the olive tree (and our wild year-round suntanning).

Single Varietal

The Koroneiki variety is considered as one of the most stable, high in phenols and interesting aromas varieties, so we are not mixing and blending here.

The main reason we don’t need to do so, is that we choose the very best seeds early harvested in October-first week of November, resulting our colour, aromas and nutrients do not need improvements. Our extra virgin olive oil is straight up.

The WOW factor: our three Vendema EVOOs vary in aromas and flavours despite being all from the same variety, showcasing what terroir can do to olive trees!

A Shot A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

Olive oil health claim: a high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil like our Vendema EVOOs, is a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-canceric ingredient, reducing the LDL and increasing the HDL cholesterol, reducing the blood clotting and improving overall gut, skin and brain health.
