Athenolia

I bought this evoo in Athens. The store clerk said that the juice comes from 150 year old trees. The company is promoting the health benefits of their evoo on the bottle noting the high polyphenols and noting an official EU health claim. (with claim number) I think this is a smart angle on their behalf. The texture of this evoo is very thick and hazy. (Thickest and haziest evoo I’ve found outside of Tunisia to date) On smell and taste its prominent notes are nuts and ripe banana. It’s very spicy. Overall, it’s thick, complex and enjoyable. As I sip on an Americano in Athens I find myself wanting to sip more of this evoo.

Probably one of my favorites! I think that the body is thick and strong yet the spiciness it’s not too overpowering.
