Healthy and Balanced nutrition
Extra virgin olive oil is one of the most famous vegetable fats and it is the healthiest one. The prevalence of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, its content of vitamins and antioxidants make it a fundamental food for a healthy and balanced diet.
Greek Myth
According to a widespread myth in Greece, Athena is responsible for the birth of the first olive tree that rose in the
Acropolis to protect the city of Athens. The legend says that Poseidon and Athena, disputing the sovereignty of Attica, challenged each
other before the Court of the Gods, each offering a gift.
Poseidon, with a blow of the trident, made appear a fast and powerful horse, capable of winning all battles; Athena, however, struck
the earth with a spear and gave birth to the first olive tree, to illuminate the night, to medicate wounds and to offer nourishment to the population. Zeus chose the most peaceful invention and Athena became the Goddess of Athens. Poseidone, con un colpo di tridente, fece comparire un cavallo veloce e possente, capace di vincere tutte le battaglie; Atena, invece, percosse la terra con la lancia e fece nascere il primo albero di olivo, per illuminare la notte, per medicare le ferite e per offrire nutrimento alla popolazione. Zeus scelse l'invenzione più pacifica ed Atena divenne la Dea di Atene.
