Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Corinth, Greece. 500mls.

Profile:
Oleosophia Monovarietal Manaki First Harvest is a highly-awarded extra virgin olive oil produced with maximum love and care by George and Marianna in the village of Kalentzi, near Corinth in Greece.

Many will be familiar with the popular koroneiki variety of olive, however George and Marianna's family grove is primarily comprised of the manaki variatel. Their EVOO is from olives hand-picked in the traditional way, harvested early in the season for maximum quality profile, and produced in small quantities that sell out every season.

The polyphenol count of ~400 mg/kg places it in the 'high' category, with this EVOO particularly high in oleuropein, one of the key phenolic compounds.

The oil presents with a mild profile with rich fruitiness and predominant green aromas.
