Us vs. Them

Yayas Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted from 100% Koroneiki olives, harvested and cold-pressed on the same day in our family's homeland, the Peloponnese region of Greece. For generations, our family's groves have produced the finest quality olive oil. Now, we're bringing this tradition directly to you, so you can experience the pure flavor, with no outside interference in the
process.

Why It
Matters

High Acidity Levels 1.5%-2% or greater 0.8% 0.3%-0.4% Most extra virgin olive oils from grocery stores have an acidity level of 0.8%, just barely meeting the standard for extra virgin quality. This means the oil is at the maximum allowed acidity level, which can indicate less freshness or lower overall quality compared to oils with lower acidity.
Polyphenol (Antioxidant) Content None Minimal Average of 55mg/kg Greater than 200mg/kg polyphenol content Polyphenols work to reduce inflammation and mitigate the risk of chronic illnesses.
Safe Packaging Sometimes Our coated glass bottle protects the oil from light and oxygen, preserving its freshness, flavor, and nutritional value.
Freshness Heavily processed Always the freshest harvest Each harvest, we bottle fresh oil never using past harvests.
Single Origin Sometimes Always Blended olive oils typically mix lower acidity oils with those from older harvests.
Family Owned Groves From fertilizing and pruning to watering, cold pressing, and bottling-we handle every step with care and take pride in it all.
Clean Farming Practices Sometimes Sometimes 100% Our Farm upholds the highest standards to produce organics, pesticide-free EVOO of exceptional quality.
