Cold-extracted within hours of a hand harvest, from a single family’s groves in the Messenian valley. Golden-green, grassy on the nose, with a soft bitterness and the peppery catch in the throat that marks a young, high-phenolic oil.
Aroma — cut grass, green tomato leaf, a trace of artichoke.
Palate — buttery entry, then a clean green bitterness through the middle.
Finish — a distinct peppery catch at the back of the throat. That sensation comes from oleocanthal, one of the naturally occurring polyphenols, and is the signature of a fresh, high-phenolic oil.
Best with — good bread, tomatoes, grilled fish, bitter greens, thick yogurt, and anything you'd finish raw.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the cap closed. The dark glass is doing real work — light and heat are what turn good oil flat.
Best used within about a year of opening, though a high-polyphenol oil like this one holds its character longer than most. Each bottle carries a lot code and best-by date.

Why it costs what it costs
Supermarket bottles are frequently blended from several countries to hit a price point, with the origin buried in small print. Every drop of λάδι comes from a single family’s groves in Messenia.
Time between picking and pressing is the single biggest driver of quality. Ours is measured in hours. That’s why the free acidity comes back at 0.25% instead of drifting toward the 0.8% legal ceiling.
Polyphenols are the naturally occurring compounds responsible for the peppery finish and much of the oil’s stability. Many commodity oils test in the low double digits. We publish ours per batch.
