Why Iliada Kalamata PDO EVOO Stands Out

• Award-winning EVOO recognized in global competitions from 2020 to 2024, a mark of consistency and refinement.
• PDO status guarantees Protected Designation of Origin, ensuring origin, authenticity, and traceability.
• Kalamata PDO with 100% monovarietal Koroneiki olives, milled within 24 hours of harvest for freshness.
• Cold extraction preserves nutrients and polyphenols, delivering a robust, well-rounded taste.
• Low free acidity and a clean, bright aroma signal careful production and storage practices.

Taste, Aroma, and Sensory Notes

• Medium fruitiness with notes of green fruit, artichoke, green banana, and freshly cut grass.
• Subtle tomatoes and dried nuts add depth without overpowering dishes.
• Balanced bitterness and a peppery finish provide a lively, long-lasting aftertaste.

Best Uses and Pairings

Ideal for a wide range of applications, from quick finishes to more deliberate cooking. Its expressive profile makes it a chef’s favorite for bringing out the natural flavor of ingredients.

• Cooking versatility: use for frying, sautéing, and finishing sauces, dressings, and marinades.
• Pairings: complements fish, white meats, pasta, vegetables, and salads, enhancing aroma and taste.
• Serving idea: drizzle over grilled vegetables or a simple caprese, right before serving.

Packaging, Provenance, and Freshness

The oil is bottled within the harvest year in numbered containers with traceability to the farmer and the mill. It maintains free acidity ≤0.2% at bottling and ≤0.5% through the shelf life, reflecting careful production and storage. The 3-liter bottle is designed for steady use in busy kitchens, helping you keep quality on hand.
