    Lovely Flavor

    This oil has a prominent fruity, green but mellow and smooth, taste. I like it for hummus and dipping bread. I recommend this olive oil for those wanting a more flavorful and and interesting oil.

    Early Harvest EVOO

    Holy Olive Oil!!!! From the moment I opened the bottle, I knew that this was different! I wasn't prepared for that burst of peppery taste! WOW! WOW! I have never tasted such an olive oil! I'm using it on everything! Awesome!

    Entire Product Line

    There is not one olive oil produced by Heraclea that passes one's lips that will not leave you knowing the difference, in a full sensory experience. Since imbibing in the very first Early Harvest and moving along with their offerings, it is the only olive oil in the pantry and stove side. It has been gifted to friends and family over the years, continuing. Of course when you find a company that is exceptional in product, communication, sincerity, and love of the art one is rendered helpless and MUST pass it on. Thank you Heraclea for all that you have brought to our kitchens! "Health to your hands", Ellerinize sağlık to all who touch from farm to table. Sarah

    Wonderful health providing oil

    This is a delicious olive oil and I like the added value of it being grown organically and as the first press is higher in health providing nutrients. I am so glad that I found this product,

    Love this product

    I’m addicted to this olive oil. It has such a bright, smooth flavor profile. I could drink it plain.

    Fabulous gift!

    So glad I purchased this bundle. The cookbook is fantastic and full of great photos of the dishes. Love the olive oil especially the early harvest. Wish they came with a spigot for easier pouring but I added one of my own. My Turkish partner was so happy with this bundle.
