There are no quality levels in our ELAiKOS olive oil. We produce only the best quality, the same for all olive oil quantity (crop). We have only different olive varieties which may produce quality olive oil with different characteristics:
The intensity of the olive oil is influenced by the type of olive used and how ripe it was when picked.
Different intensity olive oils have different applications. For instance, depending on what you are cooking, you may require a less intense oil so that the flavour of the oil doesn’t dominate the dish. More intense oils are used when the flavour can be appreciated, for example as a salad dressing.
This year we have available our ELAiKOS selection Blend, the premium olive oil which most of our clients knows, and also ELAiKOS monovarietal selection from 2 different olive varieties! Megaritiki variety (Delicate-Medium) and Thasitiki variety (Robust-Intense).
Always prefer to consume such “lively” bitter and spicy tasting olive oils, since we know very well this is due to the presence of beneficial polyphenols.
ELAIKOS evoo has a beautiful intense limbed golden yellow colour with delicate green hues. Its aroma is definite and rotund, rich in vegetal hinds of artichoke together with fruity hinds of unripe tomato and almond. Its taste is elegant and complex with a fragrant flavor of basil, mind and thyme. Bitterness is definite and pungency is present and distinct. It would be ideal on bean salads, boiled legumes, grilled potatoes, vegetables au gratin, farro soups, pasta with salmon, stewed shrimps, roast cuttlefish, baked rabbit, grilled poultry, mozzarella cheese
