In the Peloponnese, the harvest has begun for the production of extra virgin green olive oil, which comes from non-irrigated olive trees that have been protected exclusively by zeolite. As a result, these olives are free from both olive fruit flies and olive scale insects. After a three-year period, during which 8 kg of zeolite…
zeolado (zeolite olive oil), being organically grown, is rich in polyphenols and therefore has powerful antioxidant properties. Chemical analysis of zeolado reveals 197 mg/kg of total polyphenols (as caffeic acid), a figure that meets ultra-premium specifications, as it must exceed the minimum permissible limit of 130 mg/kg. It is well known that olive oil acts…
Given the latest developments in the olive oil sector, it is even more important for Greece to invest in quality in order to make a difference. All production methods that result in bulk oil will, little by little, become less and less efficient whilst simultaneously becoming more costly. When the ‘extra virgin’ category was introduced,…
This year saw the third olive harvest for the production of extra virgin green olive oil from olives protected exclusively by zeolite as part of organic farming. The first observation we can make is that, of course, there was no sign of the olive fruit fly. The second is that production is higher than in…

‘From olive oil to zeolado (zeolite olive oil)’ was the title of Nikos Lygeros’s talk in Filiatra on Thursday evening at the Vorreio Cultural Centre, where the distinguished Greek professor spoke about the properties and multiple uses of zeolite, which is found in abundance in Greece. Focusing his talk mainly on its applications in agriculture,…
N. Lygeros We are seeing developments in the use of zeolite throughout Greece and Cyprus. We realise, however, that its ability to combat the olive fruit fly effectively is not yet widely known, and areas at high risk of infestation due to the ripening of the olives must be informed in good time, so as…
Greece’s future and the revitalisation of its economy may well lie in the primary sector, but that alone is not enough. Whatever is done must go hand in hand with innovation at all levels. For example, there are many olive oils in our country and around the world… However, our homeland in particular boasts some of…
