As
we continue to support organic agriculture in Greece and the formation
of independent farming cooperatives, we are introducing this year
a new organic olive oil from Mytilini (Lesvos) in North Eastern
Aegean sea. One of our closest partners is working in forming an
organic farming cooperative in Mytilini. This is the olive oil of
one of the organic farmers that he is working with.
This
olive oil has an unusual nutty flavor. It is a little less
grassy and peppery than the rich oils from Southern Peloponessos
and Crete. It has a lighter green color. Some people prefer
it because it does not overwhelm dishes that have a delicate
flavor, such as salads and fish.
EU
certified Organic*
from the island of
Lesvos, Greece
It
is made out of two types of olives 25% is Olea Europaea media
subrotunda "Adyamitiani” and 75% is Olea Europaea

*
This oil is produced in an estate that has been certified
organic following the European Union Organic standards for
over 6 years and is in the process of receiving the USDA certification.
