Biolea Organic Olive Oil 250ml

Description
Biolea organic olive oil is produced on the island of Crete by a family with generations of olive-growing experience. The oil comes from a single estate and is made using millstones and presses, with careful attention to cultivation, harvesting and production.
Stone milling and cold pressing are central to Biolea's approach. The resulting oil has a distinctive mild sweetness that is especially enjoyable in simple dishes where you can appreciate its flavour. The 250ml bottle is a useful starting point if you are exploring the Biolea range.
How to enjoy
Pour a little into a dish for dipping bread, drizzle over tomatoes, or use to finish roasted vegetables. For a citrus variation, explore Biolea Lemonio lemon olive oil or the orange olive oil in our range. Contact Olives+ for wholesale enquiries.
Explore the flavour of Biolea olive oil
Begin with a small dish of oil and a piece of plain bread. Try it on its own, then with a slice of tomato, to see how its mild sweetness works with a different ingredient. This simple tasting is also an enjoyable way to introduce someone to an estate-produced Greek olive oil without preparing a full meal.
For a lunch dressing, whisk with a little vinegar and season to taste. Spoon it over warm lentils with chopped parsley, or drizzle over roasted squash as you serve. Using the oil at the table gives you control over the amount on each plate and lets its own character remain part of the finished dish.
Which Biolea bottle should I choose?
The 250ml format is a practical introduction to Biolea, particularly when you want to try the oil before choosing a larger bottle. It also fits neatly into a food selection assembled with olives and balsamic vinegar. If you already use it regularly, view the larger Biolea olive oil bottle in our range.
