Welcome to Greek Liquid Gold: Authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil! This independent, unofficially non-profit website is designed to provide more up-to-date information about Greek extra virgin olive oil than English speakers have ever found on one site. Here, you will learn why many Greeks borrow a phrase from the epic poet Homer, “liquid gold,” to describe the precious juice of the olive fruit.
Here in Greece, 80% of the olive oil is the highest quality, extra virgin. That’s a higher percentage of extra virgin than anywhere else on earth. Here in Greece, producers work hard to achieve high quality as well as substantial health benefits from extra virgin olive oil’s disease-fighting antioxidants.
