Premium Virgin Bio Olive Oil
Agourelaio
The green olive oil is being produced at a very early stage from the first unripe olives and it differs due to its unique features. It is distinguished for it vivid green color, its slightly bitter and spicy taste. The green olive oil (Agourelaio) contains all the vitamins, minerals and the highest levels of polyphenols of olive oil, which enriches it with exceptionaly high antioxidant levels.
- Harvesting
- Steeped in Tradition, picking the fruit from selected areas gently yet quickly so that the olives can be milled within hours requires precision, skill and timing. But the art lies in knowing when the fruit is at their perfect ripeness. Harvested too soon, and the olive oil is bitter. Too late, and the oil lacks depth of flavor.
- Our Olives are selected carefully by hand and carried in baskets, never touching the soil and never coming in contact with anything that could compromise their taste. This ensures that our oil is produced only from protected, unblemished fruit at their height of sun-ripened perfection. This special oil maintains the highest standards of organic growing, and offers a rich taste, both of which reflect our sense of responsibility for our environment.
- Milling
- In line with local tradition, the olive trees are pruned intensively so that they regenerate and their crowns remain small and accessible. Due to the small plots and rugged terrain, the olives are not harvested by machine. the choicest fresh olives are hand-selected.
- This superior cream of the olive, gathered at the peak of flavour before even the first pressing, is the rarest, most luxurius olive oil produced. Cold pressing at < 27°C is carried out the same day that olives are harvested.

These trees produce olives of exceptional taste, wonderful aroma, and low acidity, making for a truly remarkable olive oil.
