Greek Olive Oil
Single Estate Greek Olive Oil from Lesbos
A rustic but smooth oil from the enchanting island of Lesbos. Made from the koroneki olives, grown in a tiny 5 acre olive grove. The olives are hand picked then crushed using a 200 year old donkey powered stone mill.
The oil has a distinctly grassy aroma, a clear, almost phosphorescent, colour and is delightfully mild in flavour with just a little pepper on the finish. Superb with Greek salads, salad leaves, pasta, grilled fish and vegetables.
We supply this olive oil in the following sizes:
