Dimitri's secret 50 cl

It's no wonder the Greeks are known for their olive oil. Fossilized olive leaves believed to be from 50,000 to 60,000 years old have been found on the Greek islands of the Aegean. The systematic cultivation of olives trees is said to have begun on the island of Crete in Neolithic times.

Our olive oil is a blend of oil from a mixture of red-ripe (not green and not fully ripe) olives and a smaller proportion of oil from green olives of a different variety. Cold-pressing—a chemical-free process using only pressure—produces a higher quality of olive oil with a richer flavor and lower acidity.


Dimitri's secret Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Is a cold-pressed, unrefined oil from the first pressing of olives. With only 1 percent acid, it's considered the finest and fruitiest and is the most expensive. It ranges from a crystalline champagne color to greenish-golden to bright green.

Storage: Our olive oil is often sold in ceramic bottles to protect it from light. Heat and light will cause it to go rancid—often smelling like dirt—and ruin the flavor and nutrition value. Store the oil in a dark, cool place (not near the stove) and transfer oil in clear containers to darker ones. When properly stored, it has a shelf life of one year.
