The ancient Greeks believed
in the power of the olive
It
gave sheen to hair, strength to body and suppleness to skin. Today, it
remains the heart and soul of the Mediterranean Diet, and the very
essence of OLIVE WATER®.
Homer
referred to it as “liquid gold”. Hippocrates christened it “the great
healer”. For thousands of years, the virtues of olive oil have been
praised by poets, philosophers and writers. Today, doctors and
nutritionists embrace it for its extensive health and cosmetic
applications, with clinical studies pointing to its rich phytonutrient,
antioxidant and vitamin E content as the primary source of its benefits.
Olive
oil is most widely recognized for its contributions to a healthy heart,
skin and immune system. Yet the typical American diet consists of only a
fraction of the olive oil consumed in the Mediterranean.
With 120 calories and 14 grams of fat in a tablespoon, it may not come as a surprise.
It’s why we set out to create a Mediterranean inspired beverage with only 20 calories. Each refreshing bottle of Olive Water®
delivers the amount of phytonutrients found in a 1/4 liter of extra
virgin olive oil, 100% vitamin C and 20% vitamin E, for a deeply
nourishing blend of antioxidants that renew you from the inside out.
Did
you know the olive is 15-20% oil and more than 50% water? That means
only a small portion of each olive is pressed into actual olive oil. Its
water, pits and skin are discarded as waste. In the Mediterranean,
where most of the world’s olive oil is produced, this amounts to 11
million tons a year.
Using
a solvent-free mechanical process, we treat this “waste” to remove any
pits, skin and pulp, leaving behind a phytonutrient rich water complete
with olive oil’s most revitalizing parts.
EVEE
founder Yani Andrianos was born and raised in Southern California, but
spent many of his childhood summers in Greece, where he developed a
passion for delicious and healthy Mediterranean cuisine and a love for
olive oil.
In
Greece, community and exercise complement a dietary pattern centered on
whole grains, legumes, seasonal fruits and vegetables, wild fish and
above all, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. The world has come to
know it as the Mediterranean diet, but to Greeks and other Europeans,
it’s a lifestyle rooted in centuries of culture and tradition.
Inspired
by the fundamental role of olive oil in the Mediterranean diet, and the
many ways it can help improve people’s health, Yani set out to create a
wholesome product that combined the best of two worlds – the
nutritional power of olive oil with the convenience and enjoyment of a
refreshing beverage. Three years later, Olive Water®
was born – a rejuvenating, fruit flavored drink that captures the heart
and soul of the Mediterranean diet, in a way never before imagined.
