Cold Pressed & Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil by The Governor

Award-Winning EVOO, Packed with Polyphenols for Taste and Health

At The Governor, we craft some of the world’s most celebrated cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and organic extra virgin olive oil, straight from the sun-drenched groves of Corfu. Our Limited Edition and Premium Organic EVOOs have earned global acclaim—not only for their rich, robust flavour but also for their extraordinary health benefits.

Infused with exceptionally high levels of polyphenols like oleocanthal and oleacein, our oils deliver powerful anti-inflammatory properties, backed by science and celebrated by chefs, nutritionists, and health-conscious foodies alike.

What Does Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil Really Mean?

The term cold-pressed dates back to ancient olive oil traditions—think stone mills, hand-stacked mats, and donkeys turning heavy millstones. The olives were crushed and pressed below 27°C to preserve their nutrients, creating what we now know as cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.

Today, that same principle is elevated through state-of-the-art methods. At our Olive Fabrica—the home of The Governor EVOO—we cold extract using precision-controlled centrifugation. We maintain average extraction temperatures between 17°c and 21°c, far below industry maximums, to preserve the oil’s powerful polyphenols and its signature fresh, fruity aroma.

Lower extraction temperatures yield less oil, but a much higher quality product, bursting with antioxidants and the unmistakable taste of pure olives.

Cold Pressed vs. Cold Extracted: What’s the Difference?

Though used interchangeably, cold pressed typically refers to traditional mechanical methods, while cold extracted applies to modern, hygienic processes like ours. Both aim to preserve nutrients, but cold extraction ensures:

• Greater purity and nutritional value
• Reduced oxidation and exposure to air or heat
• Consistent flavour and polyphenol content

At The Governor, our oils meet and exceed the strictest EVOO standards, including chemical analysis and expert sensory panels.
