Kalamata Monovarietal

Mount Zero produces this extra virgin olive oil from Kalamata olives, a variety seldom used for oil production due to its lower oil content compared to other types. Made in small batches, the oil exhibits notes of green tomato, pine nuts, and peppery herbs such as mustard greens, with a smooth and balanced finish.

This versatile oil suits frying, baking, salads, and marinades, adding a traditional Greek flavour to dishes. Available in a 2L bulk size.
