Know exactly where your olive oil comes from and what goes into it. Our Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil is pure and straight from our olive groves in Sparta Greece.
For Victoria, the success of her olive oil business is a testament to the hard work and determination of her family, both in Sparta and in the United States. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can inspire others to connect with their own heritage and share their traditions with the world. The brand’s mission is to provide consumers with the highest quality extra virgin olive oil while promoting Greek culture and tradition.
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 |
|
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. |
