Ziro Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Packaging 500ml

Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Early Harvest
This exceptional extra virgin olive oil is produced every October from early-ripening olives, resulting in a rich concentration of polyphenols and aromatic compounds. Its flavor profile is characterized by notes of unripe olives, complemented by hints of pepper and olive leaves for a touch of bitterness and spice.

This versatile oil pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including fresh fish, potato dishes, and even chocolate mousse.

The Bottle and its Design

The unique conical bottle echoes the shape of traditional oil containers used by Cretan families for generations. The handcrafted wooden cap, adorned with an image of the Paleokastro disk, pays homage to this ancient artifact, believed by some to be the first computer. Dating back to the 19th century BC, the Minoan disk functioned as a sundial, a latitude calculator, and even predicted solar and lunar eclipses.
