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 levels of polyphenols, offering both exceptional taste and health benefits. Perfect for drizzling over fresh salads, grilled fish, and traditional Greek dishes.

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.

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.
