Description
Koroneiki is the small Greek olive behind some of the world’s most decorated extra virgin olive oil, and this is a single-estate example — 100% Koroneiki, early harvested, and cold extracted within hours of picking so almost nothing is lost between the grove and the bottle.
It pours fresh and vibrant: grassy on the nose with a clear artichoke note, a smooth, balanced entry, and a peppery catch at the back of the throat on the finish. That pepper is oleocanthal, the natural anti-inflammatory compound found in fresh, high-polyphenol oil. Lab analysis puts this oil at roughly 578 mg/kg polyphenols with 0.17% free fatty acid and over 77% oleic acid — numbers that give it premium extra virgin status, and the reason it stays stable and flavourful for two years or more when stored properly.
It is a genuinely versatile kitchen oil, not a bottle to save for special occasions. Drizzle it over salads, vegetables and dips; use it for everyday cooking, sautéing and grilling; finish pasta, meats and seafood with it; or take a spoonful straight if you are drinking your olive oil for the health benefits. Pair it with a bold aged balsamic for a bread-dipping duo that tastes like a restaurant course.
