It comes from a socially-ecologically sustainable project on the Greek island of Zakynthos.

It is certified organic, with a protected geographical indication of the production area (Zakynthos island in Greece), the respective farmer is named on the can or canister.

It has a distinctive aroma: first a touch of Mediterranean bitterness, then mild. A high density olive oil with a greenish color.

With “ANTA organic olive oil” you directly support small organic farmers to remain certified. Simply by paying a fair price that helps the farmers pay the organic fees.

Zakynthos has a marine national park dedicated to protecting Mediterranean coastal ecosystems. These ecosystems are home to sea turtles and monk seals.

Whole organic umeboshi plums with shiso leaves.

Umeboshi from Japan are botanically a type of apricot. However, they are often referred to as plums. They are known as umeboshi plums. They have excellent physiological effects, most notably a strong alkalizing effect on the stomach and intestinal tract.

In Japan, they are pickled and fermented in sea salt with shiso for approximately six months in large wooden barrels. They are then packaged in jars as salted plums. This process produces high-quality plums that can exert their soothing effect, especially on overly acidic stomachs and intestines, without any side effects.

Since the organic umeboshi with shiso are very salty (yang) and often very small amounts are sufficient, they should only be used in small portions, but preferably daily.

Tip from the herbalists: Drink miso and umeboshi mushroom as a warming, strengthening drink.

Recipe for hyperacidity:
Bring 100 ml of water to a boil, while stirring 1 tablespoon of kuzu into cold water.
Remove boiling water from the heat and stir the kuzu, which has been dissolved in cold water and mixed thoroughly, into the hot water until a smooth, glassy paste forms. Stir 1 piece of umeboshi (or 1 level teaspoon of umeboshi paste) into the paste and enjoy warm.

You can stir parts of an umeboshi plum into a finished soup or stir them into cooked vegetables to add flavor to the dish.

Or place a small piece of the plum on your tongue and suck it slowly.

We herbalists value kuzu as one of the purest and most traditional root starches. Obtained from the Japanese kuzu plant, this high-quality starch has been used for centuries as a mild home remedy for stomach and digestive issues. Kuzu lends soups, sauces, and desserts a silky texture while also providing a soothing, balancing quality.

Whether in traditional macrobiotics, in fortifying recipes or for gently supporting well-being – kuzu is versatile, very digestible and ideal for a consciously natural cuisine.

Oxymel - an ancient recipe

Traditions about oxymel and its use can be found in ancient medical and healing texts, such as those of Galen of Pergamon (129-199) or in the Middle Ages by Hildegard of Bingen.

Honey and vinegar - each a powerful home remedy with countless beneficial properties - are mixed together, and as a bonus, you can also add (medicinal) herbs to this potent mixture.

For a long, long time, so-called sour honey had a firm place as a medicinal form among healers and doctors.

In fact, the trunk can be used in many ways:
Take 1-2 tablespoons neat half an hour before your first meal, diluted 1:10 with warm or cold water, or—for even more refreshment—with cold mineral water. Its use in the kitchen also invites creative experimentation.

Honey contains over 180 different components. In addition to various types of sugar, it contains vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and polyphenols (which act as antioxidants), as well as bee enzymes. The latter are responsible, among other things, for honey's anti-inflammatory effects.

The power of bees, microorganisms and plants

Vinegar is a fermentation product in which the alcohol in a fruit wine is converted into acid with the help of microorganisms. For its dietary benefits, vinegar was already highly praised by Hippocrates (the founder of modern medicine). 

Both vinegar and honey have strong extraction power. When herbs or spices are added, the valuable essential oils and secondary plant compounds are gently dissolved and perfectly preserved in the honey-vinegar mixture. 

For our oxymels, in addition to our organic honey, we only use products of controlled organic quality from Austrian manufacturers, such as Sonnentor and Gölles , for the other ingredients.
