Fresh Harvest

Only the freshest harvests are used for this olive oil. No blending with older crops ensures pure quality and authentic taste. 

Aroma & Flavour Profile

We say that Agnó Olive Oil captivates the senses with its distinctive bouquet of aromas. It exudes an inviting earthy richness with hints of dried herbs, green almonds, and wild artichokes. Subtle notes of black olives, sun-dried figs, and a whisper of fresh-cut grass add complexity, while a delicate touch of floral undertones enhances its Mediterranean essence. A gentle bitterness and peppery kick linger in the aftertaste.
Pairing Suggestions:
Perfect for fresh salads, grilled vegetables, seafood, and aged cheeses. Drizzle over warm bread, roasted meats, or pasta dishes to enhance their flavors with its distinctive Thassian essence.
 
Having a shot on an empty stomach to promote optimal gut health is always an option, too.

Gentle Production Process

The olives are not only carefully handpicked, but also harvested using special vibrating machines. This method protects not just the delicate fruit, but also the surrounding nature – and even animals that may be hiding among the branches.

The oil is extracted through cold pressing under 27°C, retaining all valuable nutrients and its rich aroma.

Low Acidity

Our extra virgin olive oil boasts a low acidity of way under 0.8%, ensuring a smooth, balanced flavor that enhances the natural richness of every dish.

Origin

Thassos, Greece, is celebrated for its high-quality olives and traditional olive oil production. Studies by the University of Athens revealed that Thassos olive oil contains twice the amount of Oleocanthal and Oleacein compared to average olive oils. These compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

This is how one of the world's finest olive oils is created.

Thassos, with its unique microclimate and fertile soils, provides exceptional conditions for olive cultivation, particularly for the renowned Throumba olives. Every year, during the optimal harvest period, these distinctive olives are carefully hand-picked. The process takes place in select regions of Thassos, where the environment nurtures their exceptional qualities.

For our olive oil, we use significantly more Throumba olives compared to conventional oils. Why? Throumba olives are naturally smaller and have a lower water content but are packed with beneficial polyphenols—the remarkable compounds for which olives are celebrated. Harvesting them at the right time ensures their aromatic compounds remain intact, and acidity levels stay low. The result: a premium olive oil that is exquisitely aromatic, rich, and flavorful.

100% Thassos, 100% pure. Exclusively top quality.

What Are Polyphenols and Why Are They Important in Olive Oil?

Polyphenols are natural compounds found in plants, especially in olives. They are a type of antioxidant, which means they help protect our cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. This makes them beneficial for health in several ways.

Why Do Polyphenols Matter in Olive Oil?

Health Benefits

  • Anti-inflammatory: Polyphenols can reduce inflammation in the body, which is linked to many chronic diseases.
  • Heart Health: They help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and improve blood vessel function.
  • Brain Protection: Polyphenols may support brain health and protect against cognitive decline.
  • Overall Antioxidant Power: They boost your body’s ability to fight oxidative stress.

Taste and Quality

  • Polyphenols contribute to the rich, slightly bitter, and peppery flavors of high-quality olive oil.
  • They ensure a longer shelf life for the oil, as they naturally prevent it from going rancid.

Higher in Premium Olive Oils

  • Not all olive oils are created equal. The best olive oils, like extra virgin varieties, are made from carefully harvested, high-quality olives and retain the most polyphenols.
  • Industrial or overly processed oils often lose these beneficial compounds.
