The Kalamata Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil gift set makes the perfect present for brides and grooms to be who have a love for all things food. The oil is a unique and personal gift, whether they’re always looking for the next best ingredient for their cooking or simply enjoy all the pleasures of eating.
The oil is available to buy in two variants; as an Individual 500ml bottle, or in a wooden presentation box, making it ideal for gifting. The stunning wine-style bottle design lends itself to being on display and would sit well in any discerning food lover’s kitchen.
To ensure only the finest quality oil is bottled, the oil is extracted using the first cold press, from the Koroneiki olive tree – often referred to as “The King of Olive Trees”. This genus is one of the oldest to survive since biblical times and is unique to the renowned Peloponnese region of Southern Greece. What sets the Koroneiki variety apart is its organoleptic attributes and low acidity oil, which deliver a unique flavour with a concentrated taste and rich aroma. The Koroneiki olive groves used are organically treated and naturally irrigated by underground mountain springs, then harvested by hand each year from October to January.
Koroneiki olives are a proven source of Vitamin E, polyphenols and flavonoids, which help to fight against free radicals. Studies suggest that the Vitamin A content of the oil can help with cancer prevention and promote healthy eyesight. In addition to this, the oils mineral content includes calcium, copper, iron and magnesium, contributing to strong bones and clear skin.
The oil itself has a robust flavour, balancing a sweet and sour taste with reassuring fruity undertones and the scent of fresh grass. The high quality and low acidity of the oil means it can be used for cooking, with a higher smoking point than most extra virgin olive oils, retaining its health benefits and flavour even at a high heat. Alternatively it can be enjoyed on its own with bread and a little balsamic vinegar for a refreshing aperitif, or as part of a delicious and healthy salad dressing. These factors make the oil a true kitchen staple for those that love food and cooking.
