Description
An exceptional Greek extra virgin olive oil
The Governor Premium Edition is a top-of-the-range extra virgin olive oil produced on the island of Corfu, Greece. It comes from the rare Corfu Lianolia variety, grown in the family olive groves of the Dafnis estate. This oil is distinguished by its exceptionally high polyphenol content and carefully controlled early harvesting.
The olives are hand-picked, then cold-pressed a few hours after harvesting. This process preserves the fruit’s natural aromas, as well as the phenolic compounds responsible for the oil’s stability and flavor complexity.
Thanks to this demanding method, the oil develops an intense aromatic profile while retaining remarkable balance.
An oil rich in polyphenols
One of the distinguishing features of The Governor Premium Edition is its high concentration of polyphenols. These natural compounds help protect blood lipids against oxidative stress and contribute to the nutritional reputation of top-quality olive oils.
This richness in polyphenols also translates into a pronounced taste structure, with elegant bitterness and a characteristic spiciness on the finish.
As a result, the oil combines aromatic intensity with a remarkable nutritional profile.
An intense, balanced aromatic profile
On tasting, The Governor Premium Edition reveals an expressive green fruitiness. Fresh vegetal notes appear first, followed by a harmonious bitterness. Then, a progressive spiciness develops in the throat, the signature of polyphenol-rich oils.
Yet this complex profile remains balanced. The oil does not dominate the food, but enhances it with its aromatic depth.
It goes particularly well with :
-
salads and raw vegetables
-
grilled vegetables
-
fish and seafood
-
fresh cheeses
-
artisanal bread
Used as a finishing touch, it adds character and finesse to preparations.
