This medium-intensity extra virgin olive oil produced from both green and ripe Koroneiki olives has notable aromas of grass and artichoke. Gold award winner in 2022 from Athena IOO C. Try pairing with leafy green salads and garden salads. Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality olive oil. By definition it must have some fruity flavor, zero defects, free fatty acid level below 0.8%, and be derived by cold extraction below 27°C ~ 80°F. There are hundreds of olive tree varieties, each with its own distinct taste and aromas. Medium Intensity-Intensity correlates to the amount of bitterness and/or pungency experienced when consuming an extra virgin olive oil. An olive oil with little bitterness that creates little to no sensation in the back of the throat is considered mild. A very bitter olive oil that causes a slight burning or spicy sensation in the mouth and throat is robust. We rate intensity between 5 values: Mild, Medium, Medium Robust, Robust and Extreme.
