Early Harvest Extra Virgin Unfiltered Olive Oil from Thasos
The Early Harvest extra virgin unfiltered olive oil from Thasos is an exceptional oil, distinguished by its production from the early harvest.

It is made from handpicked green olives, harvested between mid-October and mid-November, and cold-pressed within just a few hours. The early harvest results in a higher concentration of valuable nutrients, requiring nearly twice as many olives compared to conventional extra virgin olive oils, which naturally limits production.

With a low acidity of 0.25 to 0.45, its quality remains remarkably high. The flavor is powerful, offering a balanced combination of bitterness and spiciness, accompanied by a fresh, fruity aroma.

The oil is rich in two important bioactive compounds: oleacein, known for its antioxidant properties, and oleocanthal, valued for its strong anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds contribute to human health, helping to protect against conditions such as Alzheimer’s, strokes, and possibly even depression.
The bitterness on the tongue reveals the presence of oleacein, while the peppery sensation in the throat after swallowing indicates oleocanthal.

This premium, cold-extracted, unfiltered oil offers a perfectly balanced fruity-peppery taste experience and is a true delicacy for connoisseurs who value the highest quality.
