The land of Corfu generously offers us the olive trees to produce olive oil, a product characterized by its nutrients, full of aromas and rich taste.
The first written mention of the olive tree on the island of the Phaeacians, Corfu, is in Homer's Odyssey, where Odysseus recognizes the olive tree among the many trees in the gardens of Alcinous.
Homer refers to olive oil as a "golden liquid" and Hippocrates considers the oil the great healer because of the antioxidant substances it contains.
