INTRODUCING AGOUROLADO
Agourolado is an early harvest, single source extra virgin olive oil produced by Gregory C. Pappas and Agamemnon Polyzois, with love and in dedication to their ancestors who hail from the island of Crete. The olives were harvested from the farm of Giorgos Poulakas in the village of Varipetro, outside Hania. The batch was harvested in late September 2020, exclusively from unripe olives and was designated as "high phenolic" based on chemical tests performed in early October 2020. Only 500 bottles of Agourolado were produced.

The secret behind these healing powers is the phytochemicals present in honey. These are tiny compounds in plants that help protect them from oxidation, infection and predators. When we eat plants (or honey made from plant pollen), those protective...
