Reforestation

Many centuries ago, Cyprus was known as the “green island” with more than a half of its territory being covered with green forests. 

Due to various external factors, including devastating forest fires, today the Cyprus forest area covers not more than 25% of the territory of the island. 

In the last hundred years, Cyprus has experienced three major fires, which destroyed almost 400 sq. kilometers of forest greenery.

Organic Food

Organic extra virgin olive oil Atsas is produced in Cyprus. This oil is cold-pressed, using mechanical means and possesses an extraordinarily high polyphenol concentration. 

Polyphenols help to reduce human and animal body inflammation. 

Due to the high concentration of polyphenols, it is recommended to use only a small amount of ATSAS oil - half a teaspoon daily is sufficient.
