Experience the distinctive flavor of Greece with FARIS Kalamata PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil (16.9 oz, 101.4 oz), a premium extra virgin greek olive oil produced from Koroneiki olives grown in the renowned Messinian olive groves of Kalamata, Greece. Protected by the Kalamata PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) designation, this exceptional greek evoo reflects generations of olive-growing tradition and the unique character of the Kalamata region.
The olives are carefully harvested while still green and processed promptly at the olive mill. During malaxation, the temperature does not exceed 27°C, helping preserve the olive oil's natural aromas, color, antioxidants, and distinctive flavor. The result is a beautifully balanced cold pressed greek olive oil with a deep bright green to golden color, fresh herbaceous aromas, smooth bittersweet notes, and a pleasant peppery, nutty finish.
Recognized internationally for its quality, FARIS Kalamata PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil received the Gold Award at the 2023 ATHENA International Olive Oil Competition and the Silver Award in 2024.
