An olive oil from one of Greece’s most established producing regions, known for balance, fruitiness and culinary versatility.

A VERTICAL OLIVE OIL TASTING

One Olive Oil, Three Moments in Time

Taste the same olive oil as fresh early-harvest agoureleo, at its ideal stage of consumption and after one year of ageing.

This comparison reveals how freshness, aromas, bitterness, pungency and structure evolve — and why extra virgin olive oil should be treated as a living product.
