Taste

Medium bitterness, medium spiciness and a complex fruity aroma. The peppery finish comes from the oil's natural phenolic compounds.

Polyphenols and health

Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. oleuropein complex and tyrosol) in olive oil. This oil is listed by the producer under EU Regulation 432/2012.

The grove

Olithea is produced at family-owned olive groves and a mill in Agios Mattheos, south-west Corfu, at an altitude of 130 metres. The trees are old Lianolia olives, and the oil is produced exclusively from the family's own fruit.

How to use

Best used raw: drizzle over salads, vegetables, fish, bread and soups, or take a spoonful. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap closed.
