Why Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

EVOO is one of the most ancient of foods on our Planet. The Oldest Olive Tree in Greece is reputed to be between 3000 and 4000 years old.

Homer called Virgin Olive Oil Liquid Gold and Hippocrates, the founder of modern day Medicine, 'the great healer'.

Unchanged for centuries, it is still best when harvested and processed traditionally. It should be Cold Pressed and Solely by Mechanical Means. No acid and no heat.

Cold-pressed extra virgin Greek olive oil is celebrated for its complex and robust flavour profile. With notes of fruitiness, a hint of spiciness, and a rich, buttery texture, it elevates any dish it touches. Whether drizzled over a crisp salad, used as a dipping sauce for fresh bread, or as a finishing touch to your favourite recipes, the rich, fruity notes make every bite a culinary delight.

It complements a vast array of dishes, enhancing the flavour of both simple and complex recipes.

My personal recommendation is to use EVOO with Vegetables. It does something magic to them. Hot or Cold. From the most unfashionable lettuce, drizzled with a little oil and some good salt to the daily Greek method of cooking Vegetables 'Lathera'. This is the most delicious addition to your larder
