Origin History The earliest recorded evidence of the production of soap-like materials dates back to around 2800 BC in Ancient Babylon. In the reign of Nabonidus (556– 539 BCE) a recipe for soap consisted of uhulu [ashes], cypress [oil] and sesame [seed oil] "for washing the stones for the servant girls". A formula for soap consisting of water, alkali, and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC.  Olive oil has been used for generations throughout the mediterranean not only for its healing qualities but also the benefits of olive oil on the skin, body and hair.

Greece produces about 15 percent of the world’s supply of olive oil, chosen by gourmets for its strong flavor and aroma. Olive oil, as anyone knows is available in different grades such as virgin olive oil and extra virgin olive oil also known as EVOO. Then there is the virgin grade and another known as pure olive or refined olive oil. The best of the pack is undoubtedly EVOO or extra virgin oil since it has low acidity (0.21), is produced from selected olives sourced from a single olive farm and cold pressed to preserve the natural taste, aroma and flavor. Pure olive oils, at the bottom of the scale are a mix of different oils from different farms and are refined, lacking the characteristic punch of the delightful and heady extra virgin grade olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil from different countries has different color, consistency and aroma. Greek extra virgin olive oil stands in a class apart for its characteristic pale green-yellow color and a distinguishing taste. This ...

MILESTONE Rediscovering Precious Values You need human intervention to achieve the authentic, the extraordinary! That's why we prefer the traditional milling process that allows us to observe the fruit at all stages of production. MILESTONE is made entirely by hand, from the gathering of the fruit, to the milling using granite millstones, and then the collection of the cream of the unripe olive oil.   MILESTONE reflects our need to slow down life’s pace, to be in harmony with nature, to preserve tradition, to create rare and unique products through handcraftsmanship and artisanal processing. This can only be achieved by adopting slow food processing practices. Everything is done with accountability, conscious respect for the nature and the enjoyment of returning to our culinary traditions. MILESTONE goes back to rediscover these precious values.
