ABOUT THIS OIL
Complex and sophisticated with a long finish, ‘Agatherí Groves’ comes from fields 5/600 metres above sea level. The terrain is limestone and marble, the climate often severe in winter. Which makes the trees produce top-quality olives that make an oil that is exceptionally light on the palate, subtle in taste, with long-lasting afternotes.
This is an oil to complement delicate flavours: fine salads, steamed young vegetables, white fish, mayonnaise….
For dressing, mix with lemon juice and the more discreet tasting herbs.

HOW TO USE THIS OIL
With its very light consistency, ‘Agatherí Groves’ is perfect for the more delicate ingredients: as well as using it on baby leaf salads, try drizzling on lightly steamed young vegetables, or white fish. It goes brilliantly with asparagus hot or cold, makes excellent mayonnaise. Use it as one would with the finer herbs to flavour and enhance the dish.
-
SALAD DRESSING
To work with ‘Agatherí’s lighter textures, lemon juice is more sympathetic than balsamic. Or the light citrus tang of the excellent Japanese YUZU juice. If adding herbs, choose the more delicate.
-
A light and smooth oil with a gentle flavour. All the different elements blend well. It's not too grassy, not too bitter and not too spicy. A perfect blend of flavours to dress a simple salad. The fresh apple finish is divine. There is a delight in finding an olive oil which sings gently but still has all the qualities you look for.
ABOUT THIS HARVEST
Naturally our newly harvested and bottled oils are the liveliest in taste and richest in those famous health benefits so lauded in the Mediterranean diet.
