The oil offers a harmonious blend of grassy and buttery notes with a subtle peppery kick, reflecting the island's warm climate and salty breezes. It is made from a mix of Verdale, Koroneki, and Frantoi olives using a cold‑press process that preserves high polyphenol levels. Ideal for drizzling over salads, roasted vegetables, or finishing grilled fish, its robust flavor stands up to bold dishes.
