Veros Reserve PDO Kalamata is a signature extra virgin olive oil from the sun-drenched groves of Messinia in the Peloponnese, Greece. Crafted from early-harvested Koroneiki olives (Agureleo variety), this PDO-certified oil delivers a vibrant, peppery flavour profile with herbaceous notes and a distinctive fruity aroma. Cold-pressed and unfiltered, it retains high reported levels of polyphenols and a pronounced sensory character. Perfect for drizzling over fresh salads, grilled fish, and traditional Greek dishes.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.8
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 4.6
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4.2
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 8.8
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.

Product informationUnfiltered
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Messinia, Peloponnese, Greece. Kalamata PDO links the product and its production requirements to a defined geographical area.

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.

Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Koroneiki 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.
