Kalamata olive of Greece, this extra virgin olive oil is celebrated for its bold character and exceptionally high antioxidant content. It offers a rich, full bodied profile with notes of fresh green olive, artichoke, wild herbs, and a pronounced peppery finish that lingers on the palate. The intensity and depth reflect early harvest olives and traditional production methods that preserve freshness and potency.
Kalamata olive oil is known for its very high polyphenol levels, often ranging from approximately 700 to over 1,000 mg per kg, placing it among the most robust and antioxidant rich olive oils available. This elevated polyphenol content contributes to its vibrant bitterness, signature throat tickle, and powerful flavor, all hallmarks of a truly fresh and high quality oil.
Ideal as a finishing oil, it shines when drizzled over grilled vegetables, legumes, roasted potatoes, salads, seafood, and warm bread. Its bold structure also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and hearty Mediterranean dishes, adding depth and intensity with just a small pour.
