Peza Irakliou Kritis
|
(Olive Oil / Πεζά Ηρακλείου Κρήτης / Heraklion Region, Greece)
This extra virgin olive oil is obtained from Koroneiki olives grown in the area surrounding the city of Heraklion on the island of Crete. The olives are harvested when the fruit is ripe, and the trees are either beaten with small wooden sticks or shaken with machines to free the olives from their stems. The harvested olives are cleaned and processed the same day in classic or centrifuging mills. The pressing is monitored in order to keep the temperature low and preserve Peza Irakliou Kritis's exceptional organoleptic properties. This oil has a golden-green color and its flavor is best described as piquant and fruity. |
