EXAU showcases a delightful aroma profile, opening with notes of green olives, almond, and fresh-cut grass. Aromatic herbs and hints of tomato leaf add complexity. On the palate, it offers a well-balanced bitterness with a satisfying chicory and bitter almond sensation. The finish lingers with a persistent note of bitter almond.

These trees, ranging from 100 to 3 years old, have been planted by three generations of farmers. Located just 25 meters above sea level, near a stunning cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea, they bask in the abundant sunshine and enjoy refreshing sea breezes, creating a truly exceptional oil.
