Our olive oil
Medéleon is not just extra virgin olive oil, it’s the culmination of nine years of agronomic precision, regenerative agriculture, and commitment to excellence. From early harvest to cold extraction, every step is optimized to deliver maximum flavor, proven health benefits, and the pure essence of Greek Koroneiki olives.
Liquid Gold from
Katouna
What makes Medéleon extraordinary begins in the groves. Our Koroneiki olives are hand-picked at the peak of early harvest, when they’re still vibrant green and polyphenol content is at its highest. This ancient Greek tradition, known as Agoureleo, yields less oil but delivers unmatched nutritional power and robust flavor.
Within the first 12 hours of harvest, olives are taken for cold extraction below 27°C. This rapid processing and low-temperature method preserves the aroma, protects the polyphenols, and ensures our olive oil maintains its exceptional quality from tree to bottle.
Extraordinary Health Benefits
Every drop of Medéleon is packed with nature's most powerful compounds for wellness and vitality.
Early
Harvest
We harvest early November (The Agoureleo) when the olives are still green, firm, and packed with polyphenols.
This Agoureleo method is labor-intensive, each olive is hand-picked at its nutritional peak and produces significantly less oil per kilogram of fruit.
Cold-
extraction within hours
We process olives within the first 12 hours of harvest, minimizing oxidation and preserving freshness.
Cold extraction below 27°C preserves polyphenols and aromatics. We use modern two-phase centrifugal systems, no chemicals, no solvents, just mechanical pressing, that gently separates oil from fruit and water.
Producing pure extra virgin olive oil with full flavor and nutrition.
SMALL BATCH BOTTLING
We bottle Medéleon in small batches to ensure uncompromising quality control and traceability. Each batch is carefully filled into dark glass bottles that protect the oil from light-induced oxidation, preserving its precious polyphenols and delicate aromatics.
Small batches mean we can monitor every detail, maintain peak freshness, and guarantee that each bottle of Medéleon arrives at your table fresh.
Creating exceptional olive oil isn't about shortcuts, it's about honoring the entire process. From the moment we plant a tree to the second we seal a bottle, every decision is guided by one question: How do we maximize both quality and integrity? The answer is always the same: through science, patience, and respect for nature.

Anti- Inflammatory
Natural compounds that help reduce chronic inflammation throughout the body.
High Antioxidants
Exceptional polyphenol content (821 mg/kg) fights free radicals and oxidative stress.
oxidative stress
Olive oils that contain >5 mg per 20 gr belong to the category of oils that protect the blood lipids from oxidative stress.
Cardiovascular Health
Rich in monounsaturated fats that support heart health and reduce inflammation.
The Power of Polyphenols
Our oil contains an exceptional 821 mg/kg of polyphenols, nearly 4x the amount found in many commercial olive oils. These powerful antioxidants are responsible for the oil’s distinctive peppery finish and remarkable health benefits.
Polyphenols like oleocanthal and oleacein have been shown to reduce inflammation, protect against oxidative stress, and support cardiovascular health. Early harvest timing and cold extraction preserve these delicate compounds.
“The higher the polyphenol content, the greater the health benefits
and the more complex the flavor profile.”
