The Governor is an extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from the centenarian Lianolia variety grown on Corfu island, where trees range from 100 to 500 years old.

Phenols
390 mg/kg
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.
This reported total-phenol result is not the hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used to assess the EU-authorised olive-oil wording.
FFA
0.17%
Free fatty acids measure the breakdown of fats in oil. Lower FFA values indicate quality and freshness.
Peroxide
5.39
Peroxide value measures the primary oxidation of an oil. A lower peroxide value is better.

Oil Character

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originCorfu, Ionian Islands, Greece
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Lianolia as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.

Release dataLianolia
Heritage & rarity

Centenarian trees (>100 years)

The oil is associated with fruit from trees listed as more than 100 years old.

Why choose it

Choose it for its connection to agricultural history, old-grove preservation and the relative rarity of fruit from long-lived trees.

Worth knowing

Tree age alone does not guarantee greater complexity, stability or quality.

Product informationCentenarian trees (>100 years)
