Small batch. Minimal intervention. Lightly Filtered.
This ain't your generic, lifeless mass-market olive oil. Packed with polyphenols (the good stuff—see more below), this small-batch Greek extra virgin olive oil comes fresh and flavourful from Maria & Dimitri's groves in the wine region of Crete.
Harvest: November 2023.
Ingredients: Field blend of mainly Lianolia with a little bit of some Koroneiki olives.
Producer: Amargiotakis family.
Origin: Village of Dafnes, Crete, Greece.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never chemical) means. The olives were milled within 24 hours of harvest. This oil is lightly filtered so it will have some cloudiness.
Agriculture: Regenerative. No/low-till. Minimal intervention. Non-irrigated.
Soil type: Limestone hills.
This oil is like family to us. It comes from our dear friend Maria Amargiotaki's land, where she and her husband Dimitris look after groves they've been regenerating through no-tilling, re-wilding, and adding in more biodiversity.
Tastes like...
Fresh-cut grass on the nose, then flavours of banana and tomato leaf with an avocado bit coming through. There’s a slightly peppery finish that's a sign it's rich in Oleocanthal (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant 'superfood' compound).

It's easier to count the ways we wouldn't use this oil. It's our go-to for everything. It's gorgeous on carbs, like rice and potatoes. In the winter, we're using it on roasted veg and beans. In the summer, it's all about tomato salads and pizzas. It's also glorious in a martini and THE BEST THING EVER on ice cream.
100% olives from small batches. Nothin' but the juice, baby.

This oil was harvested when the olives were bright green on the trees, so it's packed with polyphenols. This batch came in at 376 mg/kg of polyphenols, which is above the 250 mg/kg benchmark set by EU Regulation (No. 432/2012) about high-polyphenol olive oils.

Magic chocolate mousse

Chocolate mousse. And a touch of gold. This stunning recipe is from Kali Jago, chef and co-founder of Palm Greens. Aquafaba is a magic ingredient, and for me personally I [Kali] love chocolate mousse and so I was so excited when I adapted one of my favourite Raymond Blanc’s chocolate mousse recipes to replace egg whites with aquafaba. What’s also so great about this, is you’re using an ingredient that is usually thrown away. This is light and fluffy, but also rich and deeply chocolatey. I ...

Roasted Carrots with Orange & Hazlenut Gremolata

A side dish fit for a festive table. A classic Christmas dish with a modern twist. With zesty, toasted notes and a good dose of EVOO, these sweet roasted carrots bring brightness and comfort to the table. Things can get hectic in the kitchen during the holiday season so we suggest making the gremolata ahead of time (max two days) and giving it a final fry off in the pan before you spoon it over the roasted carrots. This dish works well with any of our olive oils, particularly those with ro...
