“an intense aroma of fresh green olives”

Iliada New Season Early Harvest extra virgin olive oil is produced from olives picked during the first weeks of the new season. As a general rule the olive harvesting period runs from November to January with early harvest olives being picked only during the first weeks of November. The olives are harvested while the fruit is still green and are pressed within hours of being picked. This ensures an oil with an intense aroma of fresh green olives and a uniquely balanced, rich, peppery and slightly bitter flavour.

The Koroneiki variety of olives used for the production of this oil come from groves located at the foot of the Taygetus Mountain in Kalamata, in the province of Messinia of southern Peleponese in Greece, a region known to produce some of the finest olive oil in the world. The micro climate of this area combined with the mountainous landscape of the region and quality of the soil all contribute to producing a distinct olive oil.

Fresh extra virgin olive oil from the early harvest accounts for only 5% of the oil produced in the province of Messinia.

Produced in strictly limited quantities each bottle is individually numbered to guarantee exclusivity.

‘We are thrilled to be able to bring this unique oil, and one of the best products that Greece has to offer, through Sainsbury’s to the UK consumer’ commented Panos Manuelides of Odysea.

Available exclusively at Sainsbury’s.
