Tasting Notes

Opus Classic tastes and smells fresh and pleasant. It is a medium intensity olive oil that is exceptionally well balanced.

Made from the elegant Koroneiki variety this oil has aroma notes of green almond, fresh green grassy herbs such as dandelion, artichoke, green tomato and green apple. (A representation of the aroma profile can be seen on the bottle labels.)

On the palate its gold-standard balance results in a sensation that doesn't feel overly bitter or acrid, "oily" or heavy, compared to other olive oils. In the finish there is the characteristic lively pepperiness of the high polyphenols. Again, the good balance of the oil does not allow pepperiness or bitterness to become overpowering. It is these characteristics that have led to the many industry awards Opus has achieved over the years.

Having achieved this superior result not only by expert management of our olive groves and perfectly timing the olive harvest, but also by applying precise milling practices, this olive oil has a wide range of applications both raw and in cooking.

With a smoke point of at least 210 degrees Celsius it is good to cook with in all home applications (stove-top cooking, roasting, baking, shallow frying) except for deep fat frying.

Lab Certification

Laboratory testing is the most reliable way to quantify the quality of extra virgin olive oil, beyond taste alone. We lab-test every batch because:
- It helps confirm you’re getting truly high-quality olive oil.
- It’s part of our mission to contribute to a more transparent food industry.

This extra virgin contains 632mg/kg of total polyphenols.

Provenance

Opus olive oil embodies the essence of our region Messinia, with its varied mountainous landscape that is kissed by the sea and drenched by life-giving sun.

This olive oil is from the most recent harvest in October 2025.

In our olive grove we have gone a lot further than just using organic practices, which mainly only focus on what is not used (ie. synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers).

We use sustainable practices relating to soil conservation, water management, nutrient cycling through composting, ecosystem biodiversity enrichment and renewable energy use. We continuously improve the sustainability of our groves further.

Our ongoing investment in these practices improves the resilience of the olive groves and their long-term viability.
