Laurel & Flame Tsabidolia — Rare Single-Varietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Ancient Olympia · Ultra-High Polyphenols · Limited Harvest

Among the rarest olive oils in Greece, this exceptional expression is crafted from the indigenous Tsabidolia olive — a variety found only in the hills of Ancient Olympia.

Once nearly lost due to its sensitivity to heat and demanding growing conditions, Tsabidolia has been carefully preserved and revived by a fourth-generation olive-growing family. Today, it produces one of the most distinctive and high-phenolic olive oils in the world.

Bold, complex, and intensely aromatic, this oil stands apart not only for its rarity, but for the depth of character it brings to every drop.

Award-Winning Excellence

Recognized at the highest level, this oil was named Best Olive Oil in Greece at the Athena International Olive Oil Competition, selected from more than 390 entries.

Multiple international awards across recent harvests further confirm its place among the world’s finest extra virgin olive oils.
