Sensory profile: This healthy Organic EVOO has a vivid deep green colour, velvety texture with a robust fruity characteristic flavor and a scent of freshly-cut grass, green leaves and wild-herbs. Its taste is powerfully fresh, pungent and complex, yet harmonious with subtle notes of artichoke and green pepper, offering a rich and pleasurable spicy finish, with a long persistent aftertaste. These traits are typical of an early harvest-high-polyphenolic olive oil and, along with its harmonious balance, all adds up to the distinctive character of Koroneiki variety.

FOOD PAIRING
The “Koroneiki –Early harvest Monovarietal” of MONOGRAM collection belongs to the “Robust” olive oils. Robust is meant for hearty dishes that already have an impactful flavor to them. With a bold dish like a grilled steak, you’d want to use a more intense olive oil with more prominent flavors, something where the bitterness and pungency elements are more prominently expressed. It works well with bold flavors: grilled or roasted meat (beef, lamb), strong cheeses, soups (drizzled on top), marinades, pasta sauce and, of course, as a finishing oil in bitter green salads.
