Kolovi (Valanolia) are round, small green olives, with an oil content of ~ 20% by weight.
It was selected as the sole variety for the AEGAEA olive oil to highlight its dynamic and potential.
The Kolovi olive tree doesn't need much water.
It grows on mountain terrains of Lesbos island and develops a deep and wide root system absorbing unique soil features and store them in the fruit.
That's why the oils made from these olives have sophisticated, intensely fruity and grassy aroma.
AEGAEA is an early harvest olive oil. Olives for its production are harvested and selected by hand at the end of October when they are just starting to ripe. Like any other early harvest cold pressed olive oil, AEGAEA has low acidity and high antioxidant value.
The most specific features of this olive oil: its golden-green colour, strong and versatile fruity taste, rich texture, full body and slightly peppery finish.
AEGAEA is fine with fish or poultry. It’s also a good idea to drizzle it over grilled vegetables. Taste and enjoy!
