MAIN INGREDIENTS

This extra virgin olive oil is produced from the Throumba (90%) and Koroneiki (10%) varieties of olive on the southern Aegean islands of Samos and Ikaria. The olives are left to fully ripen on the tree and are gathered by beating, which makes the olives fall from the tree onto large nets.


Within three days of gathering, the olives are cleaned and pressed in traditional or centrifugal olive mills. The processing conditions are monitored in order to preserve the oil's exceptional organoleptic properties. Samos olive oil has a golden color, a sweet taste, and an aroma of ripe olives.

MAIN INGREDIENTS

This extra virgin olive oil of exceptional quality is obtained from the Koroneiki olive variety, which is traditionally cultivated in Sitia. These olives are gathered by beating the trees with small wooden sticks in order to avoid bruising the fruit.


The best olives from the harvest are selected and cleaned to be processed in traditional or centrifugal olive mills. The processing conditions are monitored to keep the temperature below 30°C in order to preserve the oil's organoleptic characteristics.

MAIN INGREDIENTS

This extra virgin olive oil is made using the Koroneiki and Tsounati olive varieties. It hails from the Chania prefecture, including the provinces of Kydonia, Kissamos, Selino, Sfakia, and Apokoronas on the island of Crete. The climate and soil conditions are ideal for the cultivation of the olives.


Chania Kritis has a distinctive bright green-gold color, and is quite a versatile oil. Its flavor can be described as moderately bitter, as well as slightly sweet and sour. It has a mildly fruity aroma and a grassy scent that lessens as it ages. For this reason, the olive oil needs to be kept in a cool and dark place in order to best preserve its flavor.

Olive Oil

PREVEZA, Greece

MAIN INGREDIENTS

This extra virgin olive oil is produced from olives of the variety Lianolia Kerkiras cultivated in the municipalities of Kamarina, Kriopigi, Riza, Ligia-Vrakho, Khimadi, Mikhalitsi, Nikopoli, Flamboura, Oropo, Louro, Mitikas, Loutsa, Mirsini, Sinopi, Sambsoundas, Kanalio, Kastrosikia, Arkhangelos, and Megadendro in the prefecture of Preveza.


Since Lianolia trees grow exceptionally tall, it is very difficult to harvest these olives early. Farmers usually wait until the olives are ripe and fall off the tree onto nets laid on the ground, or gather them using small rakes to avoid bruising the fruit.

The extra virgin olive oil Lygourio Asklipiou is obtained from the olives of the Manaki type within the municipal area of Asklipieio. In order to avoid bruising the fruit, they are collected directly from the tree by hand or using combs.


The olives from the ground are never used for the production. Once the best olives have been selected, within three days of gathering, they are processed in the classic or centrifugal mills. The color of Lygourio Asklipiou is green-yellow and the taste is very pleasant and fruity.


It becomes more bitter and spicy as time passes, and therefore, needs correct preservation in a cool and dark place.

This high quality extra virgin olive oil is obtained from Koroneiki (70%), Tsounati (25%), and Asprolia (5%) olives cultivated in the Finiki area of Lakonia prefecture. This oil owes its unique organoleptic properties to the special microclimate of the area and its chalky soils.


Its aroma is described as reminiscent of fresh cut grass and its taste is quite fruity and peppery. The olives are handpicked or gathered using rakes when the olives are ripe and yellowy green to violet in color. They are immediately transferred to olive mills where the oil is extracted through a mechanical cold pressing method.
