Extra Virgin Olive Oil Unfiltered-PGI Lakonia

Organic Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes directly from the Mother Nature, as it is the initial cloudy juice of the olive drupes, before the product’s final filtration. Since the product has not been filtered, it retains tiny particles of the flesh of the olive fruit, maintaining all the beneficial substances and the fruit’s natural aromas.

New crop unfiltertered Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is a seasonal extra virgin olive oil extracted from fresh green olives, available only at the beginning of the harvest. It retains the natural juice from olives, containing small particles of the flesh. Each year, we select a “special-edition” olive oil for you, from a specific farmer-production. Its availability is limited and we offer it as unfiltered.

 

Uniqueness/ Differentiation
Our differentiation lies on the way we handle the product. Since the product is not filtered, it needs to be cleared alternatively from the remaining particles and sediment, without losing its beneficial substances, or lowering its quality. The approach that we follow is 100% natural, and has to do with storing the product under the appropriate conditions that allow it to be cleared from the remaining particles and sediment naturally, maintaining its high-quality properties and nutritional components.
