Aparthenasa, Koroneiki, Sia, Cyprus, 2022

Monovarietal, high phenolic, sensorially exciting and filtered, our multi-awarded 2022 Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the product of another tentative and turbulent harvest. Exclusively sourced from hand-picked Koroneiki olives, flourishing across rich in copper and iron ore alluvial soils of the Sia hills in Cyprus, 300 metres above sea level, where Kythreotis Estate was kind enough to foster us after our beloved Vavatsinia grove burned down during the 3rd July 2021 forest fire.

This olive oil was extracted within two hours of harvest. The olives were crushed using a knife crusher and after a very short 25 minutes malaxation period at 25°C, a two-phase continuous cycle extraction system was utilised to obtain and preserve a higher concentration of aromas and flavours.

Available in very, very, limited quantities, in 250 ml and 750 ml tin cans.
