Eunoia Beautiful Thinking Olive Oil

Eunoia

Beautiful Thinking

Eunoia (εύνοια) is the olive oil produced by our company using traditional methods which ensure its excellent aroma and unique taste!

In Ancient Greece

A ship named Eunoia sailed through the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The favourable westerly winds escorted the boat, gently, towards the north-western tip of the Peloponnese peninsula. On deck, the sailors gazed at the beautiful landscape in front of them: a mantle of sturdy olive trees stood out on the hills surrounding the village, the sun shone energizing their fruits and the sea sprinkled the trees, aromatizing them with its fresh fragrance.

Golden Liquid

A growing excitement took over the crew at the sighting of the motherland, after months of travelling at sea. They had sailed to distant lands on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, with Eunoia loaded with amphorae filled with the greatest gift the goddess Athena had ever given to mankind: a golden liquid (as Homer had called it) with an exquisite taste and many beneficial properties for health, olive oil.

Kyllini’s Olive Oil

At last, Eunoia docked. Kyllini was the most important port in the area and the main access to the capital Elis and to Olimpia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. The family of traders threw their arms around their relatives. Suddenly, everybody kept silent when, from among the crowd, the family old man came forward with a ceramic cup in his hands, offering it to one of the sailors, his son:
-“It is from the first harvest of the year, freshly pressed”.
-“Delicious! Fresh and intense, with a sea aftertaste!
The man looked proudly at Eunoia, the ship that allowed his family to export their precious olive oil across the Mediterranean. A smile crossed his face as he savoured the spicy aftertaste of their special olive oil.
