Agios Mathaios Kerkyras

The olive groves that produce this oil grow in the dry stony soil of the picturesque village of Agios Mathaios, southwest of Corfu. Only select olives of the Koroneiki variety are used to produce this oil, which is transparent, green to yellow-green in color, and has a bitter-sweet taste and a fruity aroma that is particularly strong when the oil is fresh.

It owes its characteristics to the area's Mediterranean climate, specific soil makeup, and traditional cultivation methods. To preserve Agios Mathaios oil correctly, it should be stored in a cool, dark place and be consumed within six months after it is pressed.
