Asprolia olive is a lesser-known variety primarily cultivated in Greece. These olives are medium-sized with an oval shape, and they are known for their distinctive light color when unripe, which is reflected in their name ("aspro" means white in Greek).
As they mature, the olives turn from light green to a darker shade, often ending in a deep purple or black color. The olive oil produced from Asprolia olives is of high quality, characterized by a well-balanced flavor profile. The oil typically has a fruity aroma with subtle notes of herbs and a mild, balanced taste that includes slight bitterness and a peppery finish.
