Out of Stock
$19.99 – $109.99Flora’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Greece is harvested from the unique Koroneiki variety of olives, without the use of heat, and using only traditional processing techniques. First, the olives are gathered by hand to avoid damaging the fruit, as damaged olives can oxidize more quickly.
The Koroneiki variety is famous for its antioxidant properties and sensory characteristics. No centrifugal force is used to obtain the oil; instead, it is released from the unripe olives when they are crushed under rotating granite millstones. The crushed olives are then kneaded into a paste and pressed using a traditional hydraulic press. This traditional process of olive oil extraction is becoming rare nowadays mainly due to the time-consuming process and the low olive oil yield (10%-12%). This is the reason why Flora Foods Extra Virgin Greek Olive Oil is so unique and has a special taste you will remember.
Unheated, unripe Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil was considered by ancient producers as a medicine against various diseases and was therefore limited to personal use. It was difficult to find due to its precious and rare sensory characteristics and high quality.
Ingredients: Extra Virgin Olive Oil obtained from KORONEKI OLIVES VARIETY.
