It was since the antiquity when olive oil was considered as liquid gold. The green gold: a Verde Oro treats olive oil as such by selecting only the best quality of olive oil that is produced in the same land that all bright ideas were born (democracy, philosophy, principles of medicine and science, art, etc...). Greece, the place where olive trees are cultivated for more than 7,000 years! This old tradition in olive oil making has placed Greece as the leading exporter in extra virgin olive oil, since 70% of the production achieves this highest standard.   A land with over 120 million olive trees positions the country as the third largest olive oil producer in the world.

Olive oil is also the basis of cosmetics. a Verde Oro brings you the best handmade olive oil soaps and creams produced in Greece. Moreover, a Verde Oro exploits all gifts, mother nature has provided to this Mediterranean corner. Sage, chamomile, oregano, rosemary, lavender, geranium are few of the herbs that grow locally and have reach flavors. From those herbs are produced the essential oils that are used in soaps and creams.
