Product Description
Discover the distinctive flavour of the Mediterranean with Odysea Organic Greek Kalamata PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This monovarietal olive oil is produced exclusively from organically grown Koroneiki olives, a variety prized for producing high-quality Greek extra virgin olive oil.
The olives are grown in the Kalamata region on the southernmost peninsula of mainland Greece. With its mild winters, long hot summers and moderate winds, the area provides excellent conditions for olive cultivation and has been awarded PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status for its olive oil.
Carefully harvested using traditional methods, the Koroneiki olives are cold extracted within hours of picking, without the use of heat or chemicals. This helps preserve the natural flavour and characteristics of the freshly harvested olives.
The result is a beautifully balanced Greek extra virgin olive oil with medium fruitiness and light to medium pungency and pepperiness. Expect delicate aromas of green salad leaves, basil and red apple, followed by lingering notes of leafy greenery and nuts.
