It is hand-picked during the early harvest when the olive fruit begins to turn green and is pressed, following the cold extraction process with great care. Lesvos Gold is an exceptional extra virgin olive oil of outstanding quality available in limited quantity in numbered bottles. Although the yield is lower during the early harvest, the olives impart a fruitier and spicier note to the olive juice, while at the same time contributing to our health by containing a higher percentage of polyphenols and antioxidants than other extra virgin olive oils.
