IliadaPdo Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tin, 1000 ml

If you like olive oil, you'll like this.I made a decision a while ago to stop buying supermarket olive oil, as mostly its poor quality and often blended with other oils, not just olive oil.I wanted a good single origin, cold pressed olive oil and found this.Works out cheaper than supermarket oils, so great value, and knowing its all olive oil, you can be sure of the health benefits you'd expect from good quality olive oil.The colour and flavour of this olive is lightweight and tasty, its a lovely consistency. I did worry about leaks with the delivery process, but everything arrived as I hoped, and we purchased an olive bottle to pour this in to.I've used this for both cooking and it works well, there's a very high smoke point which is great, and ive used this cold in dressing etc.Will be ordering again.

Delicious olive oil. Only using for dipping and sauces.I don't understand the reviews re, hard to pour...dripping etc. Just pull out the top and it pours beautifully. I had no problems pouring whatsoever.Definitely buying again when used up. Well worth the money.

I recently purchased a 1-litre tin of Iliada PDO Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and I have to say, it’s a fantastic addition to my kitchen pantry. The tin is designed for easy storage, fitting perfectly in my cupboard without taking up too much space. As someone who truly appreciates the nuances of high-quality olive oil, I often find myself willing to invest a bit more to ensure I have the best on hand.This was my first experience with Iliada’s offering, and I must admit, it exceeded my expectations. The oil boasts a rich, robust flavour profile that is both fruity and slightly peppery, making it an ideal choice for a variety of culinary applications. I’ve used it in my homemade dips, drizzled it over fresh salads, and even for sautéing vegetables and frying fish.What I love most is its purity; you can genuinely taste the quality in every drop. If you’re serious about cooking and are looking for an olive oil that enhances your dishes rather than just serves a functional role, I recommend giving Iliada PDO Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil a try. It’s quickly become a staple in my kitchen!

Not encouraging for a first order. The packing date is code/24 and the BB date is 02/26 which allows just 6 months until expiry. So therefore not all that fresh.Arrived well packed wrapped in bubble wrap inside a box and then inside another box.The oil itself is typical of Greek Kalamata olive oil being light green and spicy. It worked very well in my tomato pasta bake. I drank a teaspoon full and almost choked. That believe it or not is a mark of quality EVOO.Whether I order again is debatable. This oil is a third of the price of my usual premium Kalamata EVOO but the lack of freshness bothers me.

Iliada, Excellent Extra Virgin Olive Oil!This is a superior quality award winning olive oil at a very fair price! It has PDO status (Protected Designation of Origin) A sign of quality. It has a peppery taste and a rich fragrance. I'm no oil expert, but it smells like cut grass and I understand that the slight burn to the back of the throat is a sign of a good oil. It is pressed from the Koroneiki olives grown in the Kalamata region of southern Greece. and high in Polyphenols so it's good for your health. It is very tasty on salads and would compliment some balsamic vinegar to soak up in fresh bread. You can taste the quality of this oil!It comes in a litre tinned container, which I'm not used to, but I understand this protects the oil from sunlight. The opening is not something I've ever encountered. I really struggled with the first one, but discovered I had not extended the plastic hoselike opening fully enough, which caused the oil to run down the tin when pouring. This time round I fully extended the 'hose' and it works perfectly. Highly recommend. The best I've tried! I can imagine that this is one of those oils that would be beneficial to drink a spoon a day!

If you read the back of your bottle of olive oil and it doesn’t say oil extracted solely by mechanical means then your olive oil is not real. This one does and you can honestly taste it. It’s fruity and a bit peppery and god it’s good. There are a few others on amazon that you can trust but this is the flavour that is for me. This is the 5th time I’ve bought it and I love it.

lovely oil. very tasty great flavour makes food healthy. great price. thick oil with a lovely smell.

Absolutely delicious olive oil, gives a true taste of Greece reminding me of holidays
