Why Midas' Gardens™ Uses 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Every Dressing
The Greek Tradition of Olive Oil
From the sun-kissed hillsides of Greece to tables across the world, olive oil has always been more than a simple ingredient — it’s a way of life.
At Midas' Gardens™, we continue this centuries-old Mediterranean tradition, where every harvest represents a promise of quality, purity, and care. Olive oil is not just a base for our dressings — it’s the heart of our philosophy.
For thousands of years, Greek families have cultivated olive trees with deep respect for nature’s rhythm. The olive groves that inspire Midas' Gardens™ are often family-run, passed down through generations, where wisdom, patience, and love for the land combine to create liquid gold — Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO).
We honor this tradition by using 100% Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil in every single dressing we produce. No blends, no shortcuts — only the finest first cold-pressed oil, straight from our partner groves.
What Makes Extra Virgin Olive Oil Healthier
When it comes to health, not all oils are created equal.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil stands above all others because it is the least processed and the most nutrient-dense. Extracted simply by cold pressing the olives — without heat or chemicals — EVOO retains all the natural antioxidants, vitamins, and polyphenols that make it so beneficial.
Here’s why extra virgin olive oil salad dressing is a smarter, healthier choice:
🫒 Rich in Antioxidants: EVOO contains phenolic compounds that help fight inflammation and support heart health.
💚 Healthy Fats: The monounsaturated fats in EVOO are known to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL).
🌿 Vitamin E and K: These vitamins support cell protection and healthy metabolism.
🧠 Brain & Skin Benefits: Regular consumption of EVOO supports cognitive health and provides essential nutrients for glowing skin.
By choosing to make all our salad dressings with 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, we’re ensuring that each drop contributes to both your health and your enjoyment.
EVOO vs Other Oils in Dressings
Many commercial salad dressings use cheaper vegetable oils like soybean, sunflower, or canola. While these might reduce costs, they come at the expense of taste and nutrition.
At Midas' Gardens™, we asked ourselves:
👉 Why settle for less when nature already provides the best?
EVOO offers:
A distinctive fruity, peppery aroma that enhances flavor complexity
A smooth mouthfeel that balances acidity from lemon or vinegar
Natural preservation, extending freshness without artificial additives
Other oils, in contrast:
Lose flavor rapidly when exposed to air or light
Often require additives or emulsifiers
Are usually refined, stripped of nutrients and antioxidants
Each bottle of Midas' Gardens™ dressing captures the integrity and natural beauty of EVOO — a testament to how simplicity and authenticity lead to exceptional taste.
How We Source and Preserve EVOO Quality
We take immense pride in our sourcing process. Our olive oil partners are small-scale growers from the Peloponnese, Chalkidik and Crete — regions known for producing some of the world’s most awarded EVOOs.
Every batch we select is:
Tested for acidity (always below 0.8%)
Verified for freshness and purity
Stored in climate-controlled facilities to maintain its characteristics
We ensure that our EVOO never undergoes excessive heat or exposure, keeping its antioxidants and flavor intact until it reaches your kitchen or restaurant.
Cold Pressing & Traceability in Midas Gardens Production
Every Midas' Gardens™ dressing begins with first cold-pressed olive oil — extracted below 27°C to preserve nutrients and aroma.
We maintain full traceability, from grove to bottle. This means you can trust that every ingredient in your dressing was grown, harvested, and bottled under strict quality controls.
Each Midas' Gardens™ product carries a story — a traceable journey from the olive trees of Greece to your table. Whether it’s our Lemon EVOO Dressing, Aegean Mastiha, or Florina Pepper, every recipe is a tribute to craftsmanship and purity.
