Early Harvest Greek is an olive oil produced from carefully picked young Koroneiki olives, harvested early in the season when the fruits are still green and full of freshness. This approach allows the oil to have pronounced fruity aromas, mild bitterness, and a pleasant spiciness, clearly reflecting the natural characteristics of the Greek soil and climate. Thanks to the early harvest and quick cold pressing, the oil retains a high level of antioxidants and polyphenols, contributing to its nutritional value and health benefits.
Its refreshing aroma and complex flavor make it an excellent choice for enhancing salads, vegetables, as well as finishing dressings and marinades. This product from the Liokareas range represents a perfect balance between tradition and modern processing, aimed at consumers who seek an intense and authentic olive flavor in its purest form.
Producer
Liokareas is a family-owned olive oil producer with a tradition spanning more than 150 years, originating from the village of Lagkada, near Kalamata, in the Peloponnese region of Greece. This area is known for its exceptional conditions for olive cultivation, especially the Koroneiki variety, which is highly regarded for the quality of oil it produces.
The Liokareas family combines traditional methods of hand-harvesting and cold-pressing with modern technology to preserve the purity and nutritional value of the oil. Their production is largely based on organic and natural processes, without the use of chemicals, resulting in exceptionally high-quality extra virgin olive oils. They place particular emphasis on freshness — the olives are hand-picked and processed within just a few hours, which helps retain antioxidants and a pronounced fruity profile. Liokareas offers a wide range of products, including classic extra virgin olive oils as well as innovative varieties infused with natural flavors (such as lemon, chili, or white truffle), catering to gourmets and lovers of experimental cuisine.
Their oils have received numerous international awards, confirming their dedication to quality and authenticity.
