There are no different qualities in Elaikos. Our entire production consists of only one specific category of olive oil, extra virgin olive oil with exceptionally low acidity and of early harvest. The varieties offered, result from the profile of each of our olive groves.

AMALGAM (Multivarietal)

Amalgam is produced from olives collected from our family’s multivarietal groves, which consist of olive trees of different varieties planted by our ancestors. During harvesting, we do not separate the fruit by variety. Instead, the harvested fruit from all varieties present in the grove is crushed at the olive mill exactly as it was collected. This, combined with the grove’s microclimate, results in a unique composition and aromatic profile that cannot be replicated. This variety is dominated by the intense fruity aroma of unripe fruit, often reminiscent of green leaves, freshly cut grass, almond, herbs, or lemon. It is pleasantly bitter and spicy.

THASITIKI (Monovarietal)

Ancient trees of a local variety originating from the nearby island of Thasos produce an olive oil with a distinct texture and complex taste. The flavors of flowers, tomato, herbs, mint, and pepper stand out. The bitterness and spiciness are intense and harmoniously balanced.

MEGARITIKI (Monovarietal)

This variety’s olive oil is characterized by a delicate and refined aroma reminiscent of unripe fruit, green tomato leaves, almond, and banana. It is a mild olive oil with a subtle presence of bitterness and spiciness.

The intensity of the aromas and the aromatic profile of an extra virgin olive oil are influenced by many factors, including the fruit’s crushing process, the practices followed at the mill, the olive variety used, and its ripeness at harvest.

We prefer to consume “vibrant” bitter and spicy olive oils, as we know very well that these characteristics are due to the presence of health-beneficial polyphenols.

“ELAIKOS evoo has a beautiful golden-yellow color with subtle green highlights. Its aroma is clear and distinct, rich with a taste of green artichoke, unripe tomato, and almond. Its flavor is elegant and complex, with hints of basil, mint, and thyme. The bitterness is clear, and the spiciness is present and distinct. It would be ideal for bean salads, boiled legumes, grilled potatoes, au gratin vegetables, farro soups, pasta with salmon, stewed shrimp, grilled cuttlefish, roasted rabbit, grilled poultry, and mozzarella cheese.”
