8K Koroneiki Premium Organic EVOO 100ml
8K Koroneiki Premium Organic EVOO is a monovarietal organic extra virgin olive oil from the Koroneiki variety. Harvesting takes place from the beginning of October to the middle of November, giving high nutritional value to the product as well as a combination of aromas singular to the specific variety due to the unique microclimate of the region.
A medium to intense fruity aroma of freshly cut grass, green apple, artichoke and tomato captures our sense of smell, gradually releasing a moderately spicy sensation with hints of walnut while a milder bitter element can be discerned in the throat.
Description
8K Olive Oil – 8K Koroneiki Premium Organic EVOOThe company 8K, namely 8 thousand, acquired its name from the history of eight thousand years of existence of the olive tree in the Mediterranean region. It is a family business with a long tradition in olive growing and in the production of high quality organic extra virgin olive oil. The olive groves are located in the area of Monemvasia, in the region of Laconia in the south Peloponnese, at an altitude of 300 meters, in a semi-rocky landscape, with an ideal microclimate for the cultivation of olive trees.
Following the strictest practices required by organic farming, only natural organic fertilizer is used from the sheep found in the olive groves who are responsible both for the fertilization and the cleaning of the olive groves from dry and wild grasses.
The olive harvest begins in October when the fruit is still unripe and is carried out exclusively by mechanical methods. The olive extraction is performed on the harvest day, following the cold pressed method in a cooperating two-phase small-scale olive mill. The natural juice obtained is rich in aromas and flavours and after filtering, it is stored in stainless steel tanks at ideal temperature conditions to ensure its duration over time.
The variety cultivated for the production of 8K Koroneiki Premium Organic EVOO is Koroneiki.
