At Platana, our olive oil isn’t just about taste — it’s about quality you can trust. Our commitment to excellence is proven by the rigorous testing our oil undergoes. Here's what our results mean for you:

Free Fatty Acid Content (0.63%)
A lower level of free fatty acids means the olives were handled with care, pressed promptly, and the oil maintains its purity. Our olive oil’s FFA content is well below the limit for extra virgin classification, promising a clean, smooth taste with no compromises.

Peroxide Value (8 mEq O2/kg)
This number tells the story of freshness. A low peroxide value indicates the oil is fresh and has been carefully preserved. With a value significantly below the threshold, Platana promises an olive oil as close to the grove as you can get.

K232 and K268 Values
These values are like a snapshot of the oil’s stability and resistance to oxidation. Our low numbers mean that Platana olive oil retains its quality, untouched by harmful processes, ensuring every drop is pure, full of life, and rich in character.

Total Polyphenols (119 mg/kg)
Polyphenols are nature’s way of protecting the oil — and you. These antioxidants not only keep the oil stable, but they also provide health benefits. Our moderate polyphenol level means Platana is both a delicious addition to your table and a small, everyday boost for your wellbeing.

Platana olive oil begins its journey in the Peloponnese, where the earth, the trees, and the people have worked in harmony for generations. The olives are handpicked at the peak of ripeness, a practice that has been passed down through families. There are no shortcuts here — just time, care, and respect for the land.

Within hours of being plucked from the trees, the olives are cold-pressed using traditional methods that protect the oil’s delicate balance of flavours and nutrients. Cold-pressing means no heat, no chemicals — just the pure, natural goodness of the olives, exactly as they were intended. The result is a rich, velvety oil that embodies the essence of the Peloponnesian sun and soil, ready to enhance your favourite dishes.

Platana olive oil is more than a kitchen staple; it’s a source of natural wellness that has been treasured for centuries. Every drop is brimming with the kinds of nutrients that nourish both body and soul:

Rich in Healthy Fats
Platana olive oil is packed with monounsaturated fats, the kind that have been shown to support heart health. These fats help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, keeping your heart strong and your meals deliciously wholesome.

Loaded with Antioxidants
The polyphenols in our oil are more than just protective for the oil itself — they also benefit your health. These powerful antioxidants fight inflammation and oxidative stress, supporting overall vitality with every drizzle.

Natural Source of Vitamins
Rich in vitamin E, known for its skin-protecting properties, and vitamin K, essential for bone health, Platana is more than a flavour enhancer — it’s a natural way to boost your well-being with every meal.

At Platana, sustainability is the way things have always been done. The olive groves are cared for by local growers who are deeply connected to the land, practising methods that respect both tradition and the environment.

From mindful water conservation to ensuring soil health, every step in the process is designed to nurture the land and produce olive oil that’s not only delicious but also gentle on the planet. By working in harmony with nature, we ensure that these groves will continue to thrive for generations to come, just as they have for centuries.
