Question 1

What olive variety does My Land use?

Accepted Answer

My Land uses Manaki olives — one of the oldest olive varieties in Greece, grown in the Epidaurus region of the Argolis valley, Peloponnese. Manaki is mild and buttery by nature, even at early harvest when most other varieties turn sharp and bitter. It is lower-yield, grown only in specific Greek regions, and rarely exported.

Question 2

Where are My Land's herbs grown?

Accepted Answer

My Land's herbs — oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage — are wild-harvested above 800 to 1,000 meters on Mt. Olympus in northern Greece. The elevation, dry rocky terrain, and biodiversity of the Olympus ecosystem produce botanicals with measurably higher essential oil concentration than lowland or commercially farmed herbs.

Question 3

What is Greek mountain tea (Sideritis)?

Accepted Answer

Greek mountain tea, known as Sideritis scardica, is a wild herb native to the Greek highlands. It has been brewed in Greek households for over 2,000 years as an everyday herbal tea. It is 100% caffeine-free — not decaffeinated, simply never containing caffeine — and is earthy, slightly floral, and mineral in character. My Land's mountain tea is wild-harvested above 1,000 meters on the Olympus foothills.

Question 4

Is My Land's olive oil certified organic?

Accepted Answer

My Land offers both certified organic and non-certified olive oil. The organic bottles (green label) carry CCOF and USDA Organic certification. The Premium Selection (white bottle) is not certified organic but is produced from estate-grown Manaki olives with no pesticides or synthetic interventions — it simply does not carry the third-party certification.

Question 5

What is the 5% for the Bees initiative?

Accepted Answer

My Land gives 5% of every sale to bee conservation efforts in Greece. The bees are essential to the entire My Land supply chain — they pollinate the Mt. Olympus herbs, the Manaki olive trees, and the wildflowers the honey comes from. The 5% is a fixed commitment built into how the business operates, not a seasonal campaign.

Question 6

Where does My Land's honey come from?

Accepted Answer

My Land's honey comes from migratory beekeepers on Mt. Pangaion in northern Greece. These beekeepers move their hives seasonally to follow thyme blooms, pine forests, and mountain wildflowers — capturing different honeys at different times of year. Each variety (thyme, forest, pine, arbutus) is single-origin and raw, meaning it is not blended, filtered, or heated after harvest.

Question 7

Is My Land's oil of oregano diluted?

Accepted Answer

No. My Land's oil of oregano is 100% undiluted steam-distilled oil from wild Origanum vulgare hirtum harvested on Mt. Olympus. It contains 86%+ carvacrol, verified by third-party testing. Nothing is added to the bottle — no carrier oil, no fillers. It is USDA Organic certified.

Question 8

What makes Greek oregano different from regular oregano?

Accepted Answer

Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare hirtum) is a specific subspecies that grows wild on Mt. Olympus. It is significantly more pungent and aromatic than the common oregano sold in grocery stores, which is typically Origanum vulgare — a different variety with far less essential oil content. The elevation, dry rocky soil, and biodiversity of the Olympus highlands force the plant to concentrate its oils as a survival mechanism.
