Kalamata Reserve 2024 Robust (Greece) - High Biophenol

Harvested early from the legendary groves of Kalamata, this rare, limited-production Greek olive oil is a true expression of purity and power. Pressed from green, unripe olives and minimally handled to preserve their essence, it boasts exceptional antioxidant richness and an extraordinary concentration of Oleocanthal (468 ppm)—the compound celebrated for both its health benefits and signature peppery kick.

On the palate, it opens with a silky note of fresh green almond, evolves into a sweet, almost confectionary center, and finishes with a lively interplay of bitterness and spice. The lingering, throat-tingling burn—reminiscent of Szechwan peppercorn—marks its intensity and authenticity, a hallmark of Greece’s finest oils.
