Early Harvest Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil ‘Thallon’ 350ml

High Phenolic, Organic, Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil

SIZE: 350ml

AREA OF PRODUCTION: Psakoudia – Chalkidiki

TYPE: Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality category of olive oil that one can consume. By definition it must have free fatty acid level below 0,8%, zero organoleptic defects and a fruity flavor. For better quality, it must be derived by cold extraction in temperature below 27oC.

VARIETY: Chondrolia

This variety comes from the area of Chalkidiki in northern Greece. The fruit of the olives are very big and give olive oil rich in beneficial phenolic compounds, with aromas of grass, herbs, pepper and tomato with a balanced but intense bitter and spicy taste.

ACIDITY: 0,23

Acidity is one of the quality parameters set by IOC for extra virgin olive oil. By definition EVOO it must have free fatty acid level below 0,8%. This value is always determined by a chemical laboratory and cannot be detected by sensory analysis (you cannot taste it).

AROMAS: Harmonious and well balanced with medium fruity, intense bitter and spicy. Its fruity aroma is reminiscent of freshly cut grass, tomato, herbs and citrus with hints of black pepper.

Contrary to many people’s beliefs, olive oil aromas are not endogenous to the fruit, but are produced by the activity of olive enzymes in the olive oil extraction process (crushing-malaxation). They depend largely on the variety of the olive, the degree of ripeness of the fruit at harvest as well as the milling practices.

HARVEST: Fall 2020

As any fresh and very sensitive to oxidation product, olive oil must be consumed within 18 months from the harvest time, for enjoying all its aromas, flavors and health benefits. In the Northern Hemisphere where Greece is, the harvest is taking place from October to January.

Meet the Producer

Dimitris and Andreas Tsikouris were born and raised in Ormylia, Halkidiki, in an area where olive cultivation has been a tradition since ancient the times. Since a young age they carried the love and respect for the blessed olive tree. They lived closely the cultivation, the harvest, the milling and they learned to appreciate the olive oil, which is valuable so for health. Childhood memories over time were transformed into an experience, which in combination with their vision to produce their own extra virgin olive oil, gave birth to THALLON, a natural product rich in phenolic ingredients and with extremely low acidity, derived from unripe olives, in an unheated way and with the most modern and certified mechanical methods of milling.
