Pure olive oil with a fruity, mild taste
Makri - a small place in northeast Greece near Alexandroupolis. Olive trees as far as the eye can see. This is where one of the best olive oils in Greece and the world is produced.
In the third generation, the Kelidis family produces the highly aromatic olive oil, which with its countless awards is one of the world's best oils.
The regionally indigenous Makri olive is one of the oldest varieties in Greece and is usually harvested by hand at the beginning of the harvest season in October using vibratory combs. The still green fruit is already optimally ripe and contains important antioxidants. The cold press at 24 degrees Celsius creates an excellent olive oil with a medium fruitiness. The aroma is characterized by notes of green banana, artichoke, freshly cut grass and tropical fruits, which offers a perfect balance to the healthy bitter taste.
