Iliada Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.4oz.

Iliada Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from olives grown in one of the oldest family-owned groves in the lowlands of Messinia. Picture this: a 100-acre property peppered with 1,200 olive trees—pretty idyllic, right?

A Family Legacy

The olive trees are located in Spillia Trifillias, a place that's gained quite a reputation for producing top-notch olive oil. They even call it “Ladohori,” which means the “olive oil village.” The olive mill? It's been passed down through the family since 1898. The current owner, Mr. Alexis, is particularly proud of a special tree on his farm that predates 1821. And guess what? It's still blooming and producing about 100 kg of extra virgin olive oil. The property has been in his family for generations, passed down from father to son.

Quality You Can Taste

Ready to talk quality? This is 100% extra virgin olive oil, made from Koroneiki variety olives known for their naturally low acidity. People love Koroneiki olives for their super aromatic oil. Plus, they're highly productive, resistant to oxidation, and packed with oleic acid, which makes them super healthy. The olives are carefully harvested from November until early December.

A Labor of Love

Mr. Alexis sure has a way with words. As he puts it: “We love the olives. We live because of them.” And you can taste that passion in every drop of this olive oil.

A Treat for the Taste Buds

Iliada Single Estate olive oil is like a symphony for your taste buds. It's full-bodied with an intense taste of green unripe fruit, medium to high pungency, and a peppery aftertaste that'll keep you coming back for more. Plus, it has this intense aroma of freshly cut grass and green herbs.
