Fresh, whole organic lemons are stone milled and cold pressed with Koroneiki olives from Biolea’s Astrikas Estate. Lemonio brings the classic pairing of olive oil and lemon together in one naturally zesty oil, especially lovely with white fish and roast potatoes. The lemon and olive combination is produced together, making this an easy finishing oil for fish, potatoes and vegetables.
Biolea Lemonio Lemon Olive Oil
£9.49
Description
Biolea Lemonio lemon olive oil gets its citrus character from fresh, whole organic lemons pressed together with Koroneiki olives. The olives come from the Astrikas Estate in Crete, where Biolea uses stone milling and cold pressing to produce its single-estate oils.
Combining the fruit during production gives Lemonio its natural, zesty lemon flavour. It is an easy way to bring brightness to a meal, with the olive oil and citrus already beautifully paired for you.
How to enjoy
Drizzle over cooked white fish, toss with roasted potatoes or use in a simple green salad dressing. Try it over steamed vegetables with freshly ground pepper. If you enjoy citrus oils, our Biolea orange olive oil offers a different direction for salads and chicken.
A lemon olive oil dressing without the fuss
Spoon a little Lemonio over warm new potatoes with chopped parsley and black pepper. Toss gently, taste, then add more oil only if needed. The lemon character is already present, so begin without extra lemon juice and decide whether you want a sharper finish once the potatoes are dressed.
For a simple fish supper, drizzle over the cooked fish as it reaches the plate and serve with steamed greens. You can also stir a little through a chickpea and cucumber salad or use it to finish roasted cauliflower. In each case, start with a small amount so the citrus sits comfortably with the rest of the meal.
How does Lemonio get its lemon flavour?
Whole organic lemons are pressed with the Koroneiki olives during production. This combines the fruit with the oil as it is made at Biolea’s Astrikas Estate. Choose Lemonio when you want a zesty direction for your food; for a different citrus character, try Biolea orange olive oil, made with bitter oranges.
Ingredients
Organic olive oil and organic lemons. The whole lemons are milled and pressed together with the olives.

Frequently asked questions
How does Biolea Lemonio acquire its lemon flavour?
Fresh, whole organic lemons are pressed together with Koroneiki olives to make Biolea Lemonio. The fruit is combined during production at the Astrikas Estate on Crete, giving the oil its natural, zesty lemon character.
Is Lemonio intended to replace a squeeze of lemon in every recipe?
Lemonio adds lemon character together with olive oil, so it is useful as a finishing oil or part of a dressing. Taste the food before deciding whether it also needs lemon juice; the oil and a squeeze of juice serve different roles.
How should I use Lemonio with cooked fish?
Drizzle a little Lemonio over the fish as it reaches the plate, with steamed greens or potatoes alongside. Add gradually so the lemon olive oil complements the fish, then decide whether any additional seasoning is needed.
Can I make a potato salad with Biolea lemon olive oil?
Yes. Toss warm new potatoes with a small amount of Lemonio, parsley and black pepper. The citrus is already part of the oil, so start without extra lemon juice and adjust the finished salad to your taste.
What is the difference between Lemonio and Biolea orange oil?
Lemonio is made with whole lemons and gives a zesty lemon direction. Biolea orange olive oil is produced with whole bitter oranges and has notes of orange rind and blossom. Choose according to the citrus flavour you want in your food.
