Description

Greek extra virgin olive oil from an exceptional terroir

Tombazis Greek extra virgin olive oil comes from the Ermionida region of the Peloponnese. Thanks to its unique microclimate, the olive trees benefit not only from optimal sunlight, but also from nutrient-rich soil. As a result, the fruit develops exceptional aromatic intensity. What’s more, our growers cultivate the trees without chemical fertilizers, in keeping with traditional methods.

Cold-pressed to preserve freshness and quality

The olives are harvested by hand, then immediately transported to the family mill. There, they are mechanically cold-pressed, never exceeding 27°C. This gentle method not only preserves the antioxidants, but also ensures low acidity. As a result, the oil retains all its nutritional richness, while keeping its aromas intact.

A family tradition combined with excellence

Since 1828, the Tombazis family has been perpetuating ancestral know-how, while integrating modern, sustainable practices. Thanks to this balance, the oil enjoys international recognition. Indeed, several competitions, notably in Athens, have rewarded the consistent quality of this production.

A fruity, elegant oil that’s easy to incorporate into your recipes

This olive oil reveals subtle vegetal notes, a lovely sweetness and a slightly peppery finish. It can be used in many ways: as a salad dressing, on grilled vegetables or as a finishing touch on a hot dish. What’s more, its 500 ml format is perfect for regular consumption, with no waste.
