|
| Eleónes | Early Harvest - pressed from the first green, unripe "Hontroelia" olives, handpicked only in Mt. Athos region, Halkidiki, Greece. Very big bodied, lots of green vegetation (really big artichoke, chicory). (March 2012) |

Has anyone tried this 'Aegean

Has anyone tried this 'Aegean' brand kalamata EVOO?

I ask because it was the oil that turned me on to olive oil when I worked in a Mediterranean foods grocery and deli. I can't find it where I live now, but recently picked up a can. With my very limited EVOO palate, I'm guessing that at the very least it it's old (no packaging date on it) but it doesn't taste -obviously- fake to me like cheap supermarket stuff.
Hi Scott - I don't know this

Hi Scott - I don't know this oil, and although the label w/ its folksy/traditional images brings to mind the usual olive oil shell games – rule of thumb: the more over-the-top the label, the worse the oil inside – I hesitate to pass judgment. I'll put it on my list of oils to taste/test.
Is this the real McCoy?

Sorry Christie I don't know this one - but I'll look into it! FWIW iTQi awards aren't a big deal - or any deal at all - in olive oil circles, which may mean they're short of real awards to brag about. But it certainly could be good oil.
