Iliada Pdo Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tin, 1 Litre (Pack of 1)

If you like olive oil, you'll like this.I made a decision a while ago to stop buying supermarket olive oil, as mostly its poor quality and often blended with other oils, not just olive oil.I wanted a good single origin, cold pressed olive oil and found this.Works out cheaper than supermarket oils, so great value, and knowing its all olive oil, you can be sure of the health benefits you'd expect from good quality olive oil.The colour and flavour of this olive is lightweight and tasty, its a lovely consistency. I did worry about leaks with the delivery process, but everything arrived as I hoped, and we purchased an olive bottle to pour this in to.I've used this for both cooking and it works well, there's a very high smoke point which is great, and ive used this cold in dressing etc.Will be ordering again.

Iliada, Excellent Extra Virgin Olive Oil!This is a superior quality award winning olive oil at a very fair price! It has PDO status (Protected Designation of Origin) A sign of quality. It has a peppery taste and a rich fragrance. I'm no oil expert, but it smells like cut grass and I understand that the slight burn to the back of the throat is a sign of a good oil. It is pressed from the Koroneiki olives grown in the Kalamata region of southern Greece. and high in Polyphenols so it's good for your health. It is very tasty on salads and would compliment some balsamic vinegar to soak up in fresh bread. You can taste the quality of this oil!It comes in a litre tinned container, which I'm not used to, but I understand this protects the oil from sunlight. The opening is not something I've ever encountered. I really struggled with the first one, but discovered I had not extended the plastic hoselike opening fully enough, which caused the oil to run down the tin when pouring. This time round I fully extended the 'hose' and it works perfectly. Highly recommend. The best I've tried! I can imagine that this is one of those oils that would be beneficial to drink a spoon a day!

This Greek extra virgin olive oil is rich, smooth, and full of authentic Mediterranean flavour. Perfectly balanced with a peppery finish, it elevates everything from salads to grilled meats. A true staple for any kitchen!

We use, extra virgin olive oil on most of our dishes (both for cooking and dressing). This is a very light olive oil and it seems ideal for cooking. It is also a great options for thise who don't like the typical "kick" and "burn" of extra virgin olive oil. It is actually so mild that it is hardly believable that it is real olive oil - but I do trust the PDO label.The 1 littre tins are very practical and its price is very reasonable (actually even cheaper than many of the supermarket olive oils). I will be looking to get some more when back in stock for immediate dispatch. So, 4 stars for it, simply because it does not have this extra kick one would expect making it slightly dull if used for dipping. Overall, a great option to be used alogside other, stronger tasting olive oils and dressings.

REAL OLIVE OIL.You'd pay a lot more for this much in the supermarkets.Great taste on fresh toast and in salads and its good for you.

Lovely oil great for cooking or dressing nice taste and smell we use it on everything 100% satisfied with this quality oil

The best olive oil out there. Smooth with a slight peppery taste. Can’t get enough of it. Supermarket brands are just rubbish in comparison.

I don't normally leave reviews but this oil is really excellent and in fact I will reorder immediately after opening earlier.Well packed in a most ingenious tin/opener........and a very distinctive flavor.
