Ktima Mikeli Extra Virgin Olive Oil –
Gold award 2021
in the 6th edition of the
OLYMP TASTE AWARDS 2021,
The Mikeli Estate (Ktima Mikeli) has a tradition stretching back three generations to 1935, when Dimitri Mikelopoulos planted Koroneiki olive trees in a grove near Ancient Olympia in Western Greece; choosing this grove on the sighting of a dancing lady believed to be Elais, Goddess of Oil.
In this region where ancients lifted land out of the sea, the secrets of the soil and residual shells found in the grove of the Mikeli Estate imbue their olive oil with a superlative peppery taste. In November, the olives are handpicked, cold pressed and bottled in one day ensuring the olive oil captures the essence of the Gods and retains all the complex flavours of the Mikeli Koroneiki olives.
KTIMA MIKELI Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil are from carefully selected and handpicked olives of Koroneiki olive trees. It is a pure, 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a unique balance with a low acidity of 0.19%

Benefits
The world’s scientific community recognises now its nutritional value, a discovery made by Hippocrates some thousands years ago. Olive oil, as all fats, is important for the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. It contributes to the heart’s health, due to its monounsaturated fats, to cancer’s prevention, as a result of the antioxidant microelements (polyphenols), to age’s slowing down because of its vitamin E content, as well as to the proper growth of bones and brain during childhood, and to many other cases. The daily use of olive oil protects from coronary heart diseases, reduces the levels of “bad” cholesterol while increases the “good” one. This is why the Mediterranean diet, the main ingredient of which is the olive oil, is well-known as the world’s best nutritional model.
All the Aromas and flavours of Greece in a bottle!
Storage

Theodora Mikelopoulos
Owner at Ktima MIKELI
I am the granddaughter of Dimitri Mikelopoulos, who purchased the Ktima Mikeli Olive grove in Western Peloponnese in Greece. This is the place where our product’s philosophy meets the sun, the sea and the history and all of them form the trilogy of the main ingredients which make our olive oil incomparable.
Currently living in Victoria, I am importing my Extra Virgin olive oil so it is available here in Australia.
I wanted others to enjoy the superb taste of Ktima Mikeli Extra Virgin olive oil and when cooking imbuing your food with its delicious flavours.
The Ktima Mikeli olive grove produces a restricted amount of olives, so our olive oil has limited production resulting in an exclusive, flavoursome product at a reasonable price.
I am involved in every step of the production process, from the harvest to the bottle and to your door.
I look forward to communicating with you personally and receiving your feedback about my olive oil.
There are EXTRA VIRGIN olive oils from around the world, and there is the "nectar for the gods"; that's what Ktima Mikeli Olive Oil is. In my household, we are "olive oil snobs", as we have grown up to appreciate this nectar as an integral part of our culinary life journey. I cannot recommend Ktima Mikeli Olive Oil highly enough. The natural irrigation and spring waters in the wider area, produce a naturally fresh tasting nectar, with deep fruity tones and earthy seduction of the taste buds. We are lucky to have this sacred nectar, Ktima Mikeli Olive Oil, in Australia.

Lovely products. Great price and fast delivery. The actual olive groves are in ancient Olympia Greece, and it is there that olives are cold pressed within hours of coming off the trees.. No hassle shopping. I will definitely be coming back
