Lesvos

Lesvos is a virgin olive oil obtained from olives of the variety Kolovi and Adramytiani within the administrative boundaries of the island of Lesbos, in the North Aegean Islands. It is believed that the olive oil production in this area started already in the Bronze Age. Since the island of Lesbos enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers, each year there are 100,000 tons of olives harvested, from which 20.000 tons of oil are obtained.

This oil has an intense aroma and the taste of ripe olives. It has a beautiful bright golden-yellow color due to the low content of chlorophyll. In order to preserve Lesvos as long as possible, it should be kept in a cold and dark place and consumed within four to six months.
