Neolea Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 100% pure and always fresh. It is extracted from Koroneiki olives, which are hand-picked by our farmers in the south of Greece. Innovative extraction technology allows for an oxygen free process that optimally extracts all flavor and nutrients in under 15 minutes making our olive oil taste fresh all year round.
Our olive oil is packaged in a glass bottle coated white to protect the extra virgin olive oil from damaging UV light. This ensures the oil retains its quality and flavor.
It's a common myth that you can't cook with extra virgin olive oil. While you can certainly use it for cooking, shallow frying, marinating, and dipping, we recommend using it as a finishing oil. Drizzle it over pasta, salads, fish, meat, or vegetables to add a unique and flavorful finishing touch with enhanced aroma and taste.
Greek extra virgin olive oil stands out due to its rich history, unique climate, and production methods. Greece's Mediterranean climate and fertile soil contribute to the growth of high-quality olives.
The uniqueness of Neolea Balsamic Vinegar lies in its blend: 70% cooked grape must and 30% red wine vinegar. This combination creates a naturally sweet taste and a product rich in antioxidants
For our Aged Balsamic Condimento, we incorporated vinegar from carefully selected Samos grape varieties, and painstakingly chosen high nutritional value cooked grape must, from exceptional Nemea grape varieties.
No, there is no sugar added to our Balsamic Vinegar. The natural sweetness comes entirely from the cooked grape must.
Modena, Italy, is renowned for its traditional balsamic vinegar. Neolea Balsamic Vinegar, however, is crafted in Greece from grapes grown on the island of Samos. Our vinegar is aged for three years in new French oak barrels, a process that imparts a distinct flavor profile. The uniqueness of Neolea Balsamic Vinegar lies in its blend: 70% cooked grape must and 30% red wine vinegar. This combination creates a naturally sweet taste and a product rich in antioxidants, setting it apart from traditional Modena balsamic vinegars.
Our sea salt is hand harvested from the rocks on the shores of the Aegean Sea. This way the salt flakes keep their natural shape creating a more interesting taste and user experience.
Neolea Infused Sea Salt can be used just like any other sea salt to enhance and enrich the flavor of your favorite dishes. With our variety of infused flavors, you can find the perfect salt to complement and elevate every meal.
Neolea is the Greek word for youth. With our initial singular goal to produce and bottle extra virgin olive oil, we needed a name that could embody and communicate this vision. A nice play of words? If you split the word into ‘Neo’ and ‘Lea’ it translates to New Olive. We’re all about fresh and pure products!
