Thassos

This exceptional virgin olive oil is produced from Thasitiki variety olives on the northernmost Greek island of Thassos. The olives are crushed and processed using traditional or centrifugal olive mills. The fragrance of this olive oil comes across as a mix between the smell of ripe olives and wild herbs from the mountains where the olive trees grow.

It is beautifully golden-yellow in color and has a rich olive flavor with some spicy notes. Thassos olive oil has very low levels of saturated fatty acids and high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The excellent flavor of this olive oil makes it appropriate for use in a variety of dishes and salads.
