Vintage Reserve Extra-Virgin Olive Oils

Vintage Reserve Extra-Virgin Olive Oils – 2020/21 & 2019/20 Harvests Cellared at 12 – 15 °C • Certified Organic • UV-protected glass In April 2025 our tasting panel made a tough call: the latest Lesvos olives didn’t reach Avlaki’s gold-standard flavour, so we chose not to bottle the 2024 crop at all. Instead, we unlocked our climate-controlled cellar, where the  2020/21 and 2019/20 harvests have rested undisturbed in the dark. Tasting Notes by Vintage 2020/21: mellow green-almond entry, ripe pear mid-palate, lingering white-pepper lift. 2019/20: buttery texture, toasted hazelnut & dried herb, ultra-long caramelised finish. Best-Before ≠ Expiry Cellared at 12 – 15°C in total darkness since bottling; oxygen kept below 0.2 %. High-polyphenol makeup ( 600 mg kg⁻¹ at press ) slows oxidation, allowing flavour to mellow not spoil. Safe for every culinary use—once finished, reuse the bottle for dressings or skincare infusions. Why These Vintages Stand Out Mountain & coastal olives blended for balanced fruit and spice. Limited reserve—fewer than 900 bottles of each year remain. Bottled in recyclable, UV-shielded glass. How to Enjoy Elegant dressings: softer pepper flatters leafy salads and citrus vinaigrettes. Baking & pastry: replace butter in focaccia, cakes or biscotti for nutty lift. Slow roasts & confit: heat-stable up to 180°C, ideal for gentle cooking. Finishing drizzle: over burrata, risotto—or even vanilla ice-cream for a chef’s twist.
