Olympia | Local Olive Oil From Elis, Greece | TasteAtlas

Olympia

(Ολυμπία)

This extra virgin olive oil is made in a small, hilly area in the southern part of mainland Greece in Olympia province. It is produced from two varieties of olives, 90% Koroneiki and 10% Kollyreiki, which are blended into a light yellow-green oil.


After the harvest, the best olives are selected and cold pressed in traditional or centrifugal mills in order to keep their flavor intact. This olive oil has the aroma of ripe olives with a fruity flavor and thick viscosity. The spicy and a slightly bitter profile of this oil is well suited to use with meat, seafood, or salads.
