Here is the real Athos olive oil - a rare and valuable product of the monastery of Esphigmen. The products of the Athos monasteries are practically not exported abroad. We only get a few boxes of this extremely healthy olive oil. Olive Grove Monastery oil has a strong tart taste. After all, Mount Athos is located in the north of Greece - in a unique ecosystem where olives do not grow as readily as in the south, and their fruits - canned olives - ripen longer. Small green canned olives growing on Mount Athos are able to give the oil a wonderful fresh herbaceous aroma and a long aftertaste. We love, appreciate and pay special attention to Athos products. They do not catch the eye, are not full of labels, sometimes do not have outstanding culinary properties. But they, like a magnet, attract with their simplicity, ingenuousness and the tradition of manufacturing going back centuries. They have the most important thing - the love and sincere prayer of monks and novices, a huge positive energy charge that is so necessary for us, laypeople, especially residents of large cities. We suggest that you leave the worldly bustle for a while, read a prayer, revive the image of the sometimes harsh, but beautiful destiny of the Virgin - Holy Mount Athos - with its monks and novices living in ecstasy of incessant prayer for the whole world, and taste the oil from Mount Athos "Olive Grove Monastery". And you will certainly feel a surge of strength and energy and some peace of mind. An angel at a meal! Athos oil is so rare that it is impossible to compare it with anything and you should definitely try it. It can become the head of the festive table, its decoration and pride. The olive grove of the monastery is olive oil of the first cold mechanical pressing (extra virgin) from the Holy Mount Athos.
