Aegis Gourmet – Unfiltered EVOO

For the first time, we have produced an unfiltered extra virgin olive oil that also brings Health Claim Certification by the European Union. Moreover, this was a reward for our effort to offer tasty and quality products, while highlighting the true wealth of our place.

The unfiltered olive oil is the natural juice from the olive fruit, as extracted from the olive oil mill with all its phenols, antioxidant vitamin E, nutrients, flavor, and aroma preserved. The unfiltered sediment makes its appearance cloudy, yet another sign of its natural consistency

A healthy extra virgin olive oil.

Aegis Gourmet – Unfiltered EVOO is well-kept in a dark glass bottle to be protected from air, sunlight, and moisture. In such a safe environment, polyphenols dwell in great abundance. Polyphenols have great antioxidant activity and are uniquely beneficial to our health as they help with:

Furthermore, polyphenols are noted for their antiaging and anti-inflammatory properties. It just takes one or two tablespoons of Aegis Gourmet – Unfiltered EVOO in our daily diet to take advantage of all these benefits.
