Grown and pressed in the same village, the olives are harvested using traditional methods instead of the mechanical processes favoured by the larger, commercial olive oil companies which vacuum up birds and insects from their natural habitat. Made in small batches. The 3L box is fitted with a built-in tap - simply tilt the box and press the tap to control the flow, then close it to keep the oil sealed and fresh between uses. Not strictly plastic-free – but definitely bulk. Perfect for serious cooks and gifting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnblended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoroneiki olives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis olive oil really is something else. Fresh from the press; it’s completely unfiltered, so once pressed, it isn’t put through any additional processes. Everything is pressed the same day it’s picked and the oil has an acidity of between 0.2-0.3%, which is pretty impressively low.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIt’s also completely unblended: unlike most “extra virgin olive oil” found on supermarket shelves, it really is small-batch production, and isn’t mixed with inferior oils or oil from previous harvests. The result? It tastes ridiculously good. As it's unfiltered, the oil contains the sediment from olive skins and pips, giving it a great green opaqueness with a thick texture, and the raw, grassy result is pretty \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003emuch the same thing the ancient Greeks would have consumed!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBoth the land and the village presses are locally owned and run as family businesses – groves with a few hundred trees are considered large farms, which is in stark contrast to the intensive, large-scale olive oil production characteristic of other big olive cultivating regions. Honest Toil harvest the olives with traditional, manual, low-impact methods, using sticks with ‘propeller-like’ endings that remove the olives from the branches, letting them fall onto large nets spread underneath the trees. The olives are then gathered into sacks and taken to the village press in the evening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Honest Toil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64627307118969,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8145\/4909\/files\/Honest-Toil-olive-oil-3LBox.webp?v=1789682329","url":"https:\/\/thegoodlyfe.co.uk\/products\/extra-virgin-unfiltered-olive-oil-honest-toil-3-litre","provider":"The Good Lyfe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
