Early harvest olive oil

Early harvest olive oil is a quality above all extra virgin olive oils. Harvesting olives at an early stage of maturity captures their full taste and fruity flavours. Early harvest olive oil has better organoleptic and nutritious properties so remains extra virgin for longer.

Acidity

Acidity is a direct measure of its quality and reflects the degree of breakdown of the triacylglycerols to free fatty acids. A low acidity of 0,1% - 0,4% max. succeeded through careful handling and production processes.

Unfiltered

Olive oil keeps all of its valuable ingredients and aroma. We use gravity as a natural filter which gives time for the microscopic particles of the olive flesh to settle down. (Filtering the oil may remove up to 5% of its flavour and nutritional healthy components).

Cold pressed

Refers to olive oil which is obtained by mechanical pressing and extraction processes. ELAION employs laser meters throughout the production process in order to ensure the temperature is kept precisely between 23 - 24oC.

  • Recognising a good quality olive oil is not just for experts. Opening the bottle should free a pleasant fruity smell of freshly mown grass and of countryside after raindrop. When you taste it you should feel a slight and very soft peppery sensation while your full experience should leave you with a lasting flavour of fresh green olives.

  • Place a minute quantity of 5ml of olive oil in a wine glass and after slightly heating the glass amongst your palms to release its aromas, smell to detect the fruitiness and taste to get all the freshness from the juice.

  • Dip a small piece of preferably white and unflavored bread inside the olive oil.
    Taste it and sense the fresh olives, as well as various other essences of green freshly cut fruit that may arise as an aftertaste

  • Bake or boil a potato. Peel it and pour extra virgin olive oil over the hot steaming flesh of the potato which will release all the aromas of the juice.
    Fruitiness and smells of olives, leaves and countryside should arise from a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
