This composition ensures a harmonious balance of robust, peppery, and mild, buttery flavors, making it a versatile choice for various culinary applications.
Koroneiki (80%): Originating from Greece, Koroneiki olives are celebrated for their robust, peppery flavor and high oil yield, contributing a rich, fruity taste to the blend.
Leccino: A Tuscan variety, Leccino olives impart a mild, buttery flavor with delicate, fruity notes, balancing the more robust flavors in the blend.
Frantoio: Also from Tuscany, Frantoio olives add a robust, peppery kick with hints of artichoke and fresh herbs, enhancing the oil's complexity.
The Dumrea region's landscape, adorned with numerous lakes, rivers, and sun-drenched hills, provides optimal conditions for olive cultivation, with more than 280 days of sunshine annually.
Harvesting and Production:
To ensure optimal freshness and flavor, the harvested olives are first cold-pressed within 12 hours.This prompt processing minimizes exposure to heat, preserving the oil's delicate flavors and nutritional properties.After pressing, the oil undergoes decantation—a natural process where the oil rests in containers, allowing solid particles and water to settle at the bottom.This step enhances clarity and purity without the use of chemical additives.The oil is then carefully separated from the sediments, ensuring that no heat or chemical additives alter its natural flavors and nutritional properties.
Flavor Profile:
This exceptional Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a rich, peppery flavor complemented by a captivating aroma. Handpicked from flourishing trees in the sun-drenched hills of Dumrea, it delivers a unique, full-bodied taste perfect for drizzling.
Suggestions for Use:
Salad Dressings: Create simple vinaigrettes by combining our olive oil with balsamic vinegar and a touch of mustard.
Marinades: Use as a base for marinating meats, tofu, or vegetables, infusing them with rich flavors before cooking.
