A GOLD-awarded, superb quality extra virgin olive oil with a sublime taste profile that enhances and elevates your food and adds everyday elegance to your meals.

100% latest harvest.

Single origin hand-harvested olives, grown with sustainable farming methods in southern Greece.  No chemical pesticides or fertilisers used. Always 100% latest harvest.  No air miles.

Family-owned, small-scale limited production that prioritises excellence over volume of output.  Produced under scrupulous hygiene standards and quality control. Raw, cold extraction within just a few hours of harvest.   

Single olive variety, made with 100% "Koroneiki" variety olives. Awarded GOLD at London International Olive Oil Competition 2022.

Minimal free acidity that is of a rare 0.2% to 0.3% (ie. up to 4x better than the regulatory limit of 0.8% for extra virgin olive oil). 

High in polyphenols (well above the legal threshold of 250mg/kg for a health claim).

 

Store in a cool, dark place.

From the producers:

 

·                     We never mix old olives - all single variety, single harvest, small batches, with all of the ingredients grown on our farm (that's why the unique taste). 

·                     We are very careful to not allow any leaves to land in the oil production, some producers permit it to make the oil look greener (due to the chlorophyll in the leaves).

·                     We mechanically (paper) filter olive skins and pits to prevent their rancidity, improve taste, extend shelf life and allow for higher smoking point. There is a lot of hype about unfiltered olive oil out there. It's not beneficial as the oil goes rancid faster, smokes and tastes worse.

·                     The oil is 3x-4x times lower in oleic acidity (than most olive oils) and 3x-4x times higher in antioxidants (compared to others in our range)

·                     We are one of the very few producers who can make a legal health claim (of confirmed measurable effect on human body) and put that claim on every bottle not just online (where it can be easily taken down/changed when needed). Some of our customers buy the oil specifically due to this, previous point and health benefits.
