Lygourio Asklipiou
|
(Olive Oil / Λυγουριό Ασκληπιείου / Asklipieio, Greece)
The extra virgin olive oil Lygourio Asklipiou is obtained from the olives of the Manaki type within the municipal area of Asklipieio. In order to avoid bruising the fruit, they are collected directly from the tree by hand or using combs. The olives from the ground are never used for the production. Once the best olives have been selected, within three days of gathering, they are processed in the classic or centrifugal mills. The color of Lygourio Asklipiou is green-yellow and the taste is very pleasant and fruity. It becomes more bitter and spicy as time passes, and therefore, needs correct preservation in a cool and dark place. This high-quality oil can be used as a salad dressing or put over some tasty Greek cheese and enjoyed next to a glass of wine. |
