ELYSIAN EARTH Aspro Mavro Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Description
Aspro Mavro is a sophisticated blend of our Aspro Lia and Mavro Lia oils. This rare organic blend is a union of two distinct Greek varieties that bridge the worlds of north and south. Asprolia, the “white olive” from the northern regions of Greece, and Mavrolia, the “black olive” from the groves of Messinia in the south.
When these opposites unite, they create a symphony of flavors , a balanced interplay of gentle sweetness and bold intensity. This blend is evidence that harmony emerges when contrasts meet, offering a complex yet perfectly balanced EVOO that honors the unique qualities of each variety while creating something entirely new.
