7 Elies High Phenolic Organic Evoo by Atsas is obtained from a blend of koroneiki and Cypriot olives (kypriaki), harvested early to obtain the highest content of polyphenols (antioxidant compounds) – making it one of the healthiest olive oils in the world. Polyphenols are responsible for the characteristic spicy and bitter aftertaste of superior extra virgin olive oil and are associated with profound health benefits. Polyphenols protect blood lipids from oxidative stress, contribute to the reduction of cholesterol levels, fight cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, certain types of cancer, reduce stroke risk, contribute to longevity and have anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory qualities.
In 2020, 7Elies was awarded as “The Best BIO OLIVE OIL” by Gastronomos Quality Awards Cyprus.

Production
From the Atsas farm an organic and entirely natural (and delicious!) extra virgin olive oil is produced. The fresh green olives are harvested early when they are still green and unripe then, they are cold pressed. The oil is not filtered and is stored in stainless steel tanks with a closed nitrogen system. During the whole cold pressing process, the temperature does not exceed 27 degrees Celsius. This method ensures a perfectly balanced olive oil with exceptional nutritional properties.
Bottle Design
The Atsas 7Elies’s dark bottle prevents direct contact with light and prevents oxidation. The packaging and storage of Atsas EVOO is critical in preserving its quality and its exceptional organoleptic ingredients.
Health Benefits
Historically, olive oil has been an integral part of Mediterranean tradition and diet. Consumption of extra virgin olive oil is associated with increased life expectancy as it contains high levels of phenols, tocopherols and phytosterols. EVOO has been the subject of many scientific studies and research in recent years. The presence of polyphenols such as, oleocanthal (a potent antioxidant in plants) has been linked to a number of health benefits including, decreasing inflammation, regulating blood sugar levels and potentially reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Olive oil is also an example of a heart-healthy fat source, consisting primarily of monounsaturated fatty acids. A review by the American Heart Association has shown that replacing saturated fats (such as those found in butter, lard, and coconut oil) with monounsaturated fats (such as those found in olive oil) is linked with a significantly lower risk of heart disease. Atsas EVOO is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that help lower ‘bad cholesterol’ (LDL) and offer a good ratio between HDL (‘good cholesterol’) and LDL (‘bad cholesterol’) cholesterol.

More to the Gourmet Story…
Atsas produce their multi-awarded extra virgin olive oil utilizing certified organic cultivation methods and pioneering agro-economy methods. Permaculture plays a fundamental part in Atsas’s philosophy. The farm in Evrychou, Cyprus, mainly grows olive trees but also encourages a natural habitat for many supportive species that assist in increasing biodiversity. An abundance of fresh herbs and a variety of trees such as pomegranate, azaroles, carob trees and fig opuntias can be found on the farm, whilst wild flora is maintained for the sustainability of bees and other insects. Moreover, the organic farm acts as a welcome host to birds that ‘work’ as a natural pest control.

My son was diagnosed with language disorder to consider asd. I placed him under Nemechek Protocol and got wonderful gains. But 7 elies was a game changer for us, as well as atsas.
Here are my observations with 7 elies:
● improved expressive and receptive speech, he is a lot better in communicating with all of us since I started giving 7 elies
● has a better grasp of what is happening around him. If he doesn’t want to share his toy to his younger sibling I used to give alternatives for my younger child, now he is the one giving the alternatives.
● he started calling his cousins ate and kuya
● he would play with his cousins intentionally and meaningfully
● he can sometimes feel himself peeing (I think I still have a long way to go when it comes to being diaper free)
● he started to draw cars, planet, etc.
● he started to imitate dance moves, before, his dance would consists of swaying and hand flapping only
● he is getting better at observing little details, there was a time that he asked me to draw Amber from Robocar Poli and I forgot to include the letter “A” on Amber’s ribbon, then he insisted that I should put the letter “A” on the spot that I omitted.
● I can’t stay on my phone for too long now or I can’t reply to messages asap, cause if he wants something from me or if he wants me to do something that he can’t do and I am on my phone he’ll tell me “mami tigilan mo cellphone mo.” (Mommy stop using your cellphone).
