The Monk Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a limited monovarietal oil crafted from the indigenous Lianolia olive variety, grown on the sun-drenched island of Corfu in Greece's Ionian Islands. Cold-extracted using traditional methods and modern craftsmanship, this high-polyphenol oil is bottled in individually numbered painted black glass bottles, reflecting a commitment to quality and a no-waste philosophy. With its distinctive character and natural quality, it is ideal for drizzling over salads, fresh bread, and Mediterranean dishes. Each 200ml bottle from the harvest offers a true taste of Corfu's olive-growing heritage.

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

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing
