Markets
Bears and Tigers
Sitting bears (=idleness, lack of demand, low prices) prevail in the Greek olive oil market rather than aggressive tigers (=high demand in high prices), as trading terminology would put it. This phenomenon is not only Greek but also general (with the exception of Italy).
Spain stays behind
Neither in December was the Spanish olive oil harvest able to accomplish the anticipated level of production.

Η φύση είναι σοφή
Η φύση είναι σοφή και η συμβολή κάθε βιοενεργού συστατικού δεν μπορεί να εκτιμηθεί ποσοτικά. Εξάλλου, πέραν μιας συγκέντρωσης το λάδι γίνεται οργανοληπτικά μη αποδεκτό. Δεν θα υπερτιμήσουμε κάποια χαρακτηριστικά για να θάψουμε άλλα ( από τα πάρα πολλά που έχει το ελαιόλαδο).
