Description

Green Mount Athos Olives from the Agiopavlitiko Metochi of Saint Nicholas

The green olives from Mount Athos are a 100% natural monastic product. The monks process the olives using traditional natural methods (debittering and fermentation) that last up to four months, without the use of preservatives or chemicals at any stage of production or packaging. With respect for nature, the monks of Mount Athos tend the olive groves and harvest the fruit themselves, which is why the olives they produce stand out for their quality and authentic taste. The vacuum-packed green Mount Athos olives should be stored in a cool, shaded, and dry place. After opening, they should be kept in the refrigerator.

Nutritional Value

Olives and their products offer significant benefits for human health and longevity, containing 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.
Studies have shown that olives are composed of 11–15% fat, the majority of which is oleic acid—a monounsaturated fat with many 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 compound with strong antioxidant action, which among other things, reduces oxidative stress in the brain.
