Our Lia extra virgin olive oil is a superb medium-intensity Greek oil with a rich, sweet aroma and a satisfyingly creamy texture. Made exclusively from the native Greek Koroneiki olive, it opens with base notes of crushed basil and ripe avocado, with highlights of green almond, more avocado and a touch of red chilli. Fruity, bitter and flavoursome, it's a beautifully balanced oil for everyday drizzling and finishing.
Its polyphenol content is exceptional — 683mg per kilogram, one of the highest we stock and well above the 250mg per kilogram that EU Regulation 432/2012 requires for an oil to claim health benefits. That makes it a true high polyphenol oil, wonderful drizzled over food or taken by the spoonful. Being pure extra virgin olive oil, it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and gluten free.
Lia is made using cold extraction, which preserves the nutritional value, taste and flavour of the fruit, and combines traditional cultivation with modern, sustainable techniques that respect the surrounding ecosystem. It's presented in a matt white bottle inspired by a traditional olive press.
The olives are grown on a family estate near the picturesque town of Filiatra in southern Greece, by producer Cristina Stribacu — from trees she planted herself. The fruit ripens between November and December and is hand-picked with care so that neither fruit nor tree is damaged, producing a high-quality, fruity, characterful oil.
