Pomace olive oil from the Gkazas family
A bit cheaper
Mild in flavor with an excellent price-quality ratio.
Honest family product
Pomace is made from the olive pulp that remains, ensuring nothing from the olive goes to waste!
Natural production process
Unlike many other pomace olive oils, which are made through a chemical process.
This olive oil is obtained by pressing oil from olives that have already been mechanically treated and/or extracting it from olive pulp. We do this in a completely natural way by heating the remaining high-quality fresh pulp to 60°C in a kettle. In this way, we extract about 8% of the pulp into raw pomace olive oil, ensuring nothing from the product is wasted.
The raw pomace olive oil is then filtered and steamed to make it “edible.” To enhance the flavor, we add 10% of our organic extra virgin olive oil. This olive oil is perfect for frying and roasting, as it can be heated up to 260°C.
