This medium extra virgin olive oil is ideal for roasted or sautéed vegetables, to drizzle on pasta or pizza or with soft cheeses. Why not be adventurous and add a few drops to a strong flavoured ice cream? And as every intense olive oil, it makes bread dipping a delightful experience.   
It has a wonderfully intense flavour and a slightly bitter with a spicy aftertaste. The bitter kick and persisting pungency is an indication of a very high level of beneficial antioxidants (polyphenols). Its main characteristic, aside from a powerful load of polyphenols, is low acidity meaning this superior extra virgin olive oil is crafted using only the carefully selected, healthy olives harvested by hand at their optimum level.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Meet our History: Marmaro
Olive and Marble are two of the most distinguished elements of greek culture from Ancient times until these days.
We started the cultivation of this sacred tree and its fruit eighty years ago in a place, which was called Marmaro (means marble in greek) and was located between the villages Olynthos and Kalyves, in Chalkidiki.
 
MARMARO Olive Oil belongs to the "Chondroelia of Chalkidiki" variety, which is most known for its big, shiny and green olives that are harvested by hand. This kind of olive oil has low levels of acidity but it is full of polyphenols (antioxidants) which are beneficial for health and furthermore they can prevent illnesses. Olives are gathered at our irrigated olive groves, which are taken care for a year in order to produce Agoureleo (early harvest olive oil from unripe olives). During the years, our experience and respect to the olive trees has made MARMARO Olive Oil the best product of its kind.
