I purchased a gift package of oils and a Turkey recipe book for a friend's family, who said they were delighted to receive it and look forward to trying out recipes. I appreciate that this is a small business.

The book is beautiful and filled with recipes. The oil equally great. This makes a lovely gift for others or yourself.

I love how light this is and you can tell by taste and how it cooks that this is a legitimate high quality olive oil.
I use this one for cooking and the lighter version for salads and baking. Both are superb.

- AHAriel H.Verified Buyer2 weeks agoReviewingThe Essential CollectionRated 5 out of 5 starsQuality products from a sophisticated but authentic site
I ordered from you because I had such good memories of a visit, years ago, to the archaeological site and idyllic town of Heraklea on Latmos,. I thought the boxed set would be a nice gift- the cookbook has authentic recipes that are well chosen and clearly written, as well as gorgeous photographs. I ended up keeping it for myself! When I started to use the olive oil , I found the black bottle quite assertive in flavor- ,good for drizzling on the basic bruschetta with just a rub of garlic- but it also turned out to be surprisingly light for cooking vegetable dishes.

It was our first time ordering Heracles EVOO and it exceeded our expectations. It was not only fresh, crisp, and light tasting it was hard to stop enjoying it. We served with French bread and cheese and it was so mmmm delightful! We will be ordering again.
