Green Athonite Olives from the Xenofontos Monastery

The green Athonite olives are a 100% natural monastic product. They are handpicked and packaged by the monks of the Xenofontos Monastery. The monks process the olives using traditional natural methods (debittering and fermentation), which last up to four months. At no stage, from production to packaging, are preservatives or chemicals used. With respect for nature, the monks on Mount Athos care for the olive groves and harvest the fruits, which is why their olives stand out for their quality and authentic taste. The vacuum-sealed packaging with green Athonite olives should be stored in a cool, shaded, and dry place. After opening, it must be kept in the refrigerator.

Nutritional Value

Olives and their products offer significant health benefits and contribute to longevity. They contain valuable nutrients for a balanced diet, especially for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine. Since ancient times, the olive fruit has been considered blessed, symbolizing knowledge, wisdom, health, abundance, beauty, and strength. Olives contain calcium, sodium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin E, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and fats.

It has been found that olives consist of 11-15% fats, most of which are oleic acid, offering numerous health benefits. Olives improve heart health, are rich in antioxidants, are believed to help prevent osteoporosis, and play an important role in maintaining a healthy immune system. They are also rich in polyphenols, a natural chemical compound with strong antioxidant properties, which among other things, reduces oxidative stress in the brain.
