Velagosht Ultra Premium Olive Oil

This early harvest high phenol Velagosht is the first of its kind to find its way to North America.  An extremely robust EVOO with sweet floral, unripe green almond and baking spice notes. Velagosht, or "The red olives of Berat", is an Albanian indigenous olive variety first found in the village of Velagosht in the outskirts of Berat, a 2,400 year-old UNESCO world heritage city well-known for its olives.  We've worked along side our partner, Malasi Olive Oil, who processed this oil to our exacting methods.  Lingering pepper and balanced bitterness.
