Zakynthos

Zakynthos or Zante, a Greek island in the Ionian Sea, is one of the few places in the world where the number of olive trees has doubled in recent years. A significant portion of the local income is derived exclusively from the sale of the island's olive oil, which is of excellent quality due to the island's excellent weather and soil quality.

Local families and workers usually harvest the olives around November and work hard to preserve the oil's organoleptic characteristics by using traditional or centrifugal olive mills to pressing and processing it. Zakynthos is an extra virgin olive oil made from the Koroneiki and Dopia Lianolia varieties of olive that are cultivated on the island.

This oil is a deep green color and has a robust, fruity flavor. It is also made in a limited edition from the best hand-picked unripe olives. Due to its fantastic taste, Zakynthian olive oil is quite popular in Greece and abroad.
