3o LIMITED was born right on the banks of Enipeas river as it descends from the Foloi oak-tree forest towards Ancient Olympia. According to ancient Greek mythology the forest was home to the Centaurs (half human and half horse) and also the site where Hercules carried his fourth labor, i.e. to capture the Erimanthian Boar alive and bring it to the King of Mycenae Eurystheus. This vast oak-tree forest of Foloi coupled with amazingly shaped canyons create the pathway to an excellent microclimate in the region nurturing the olive trees. Mild winters ensure the longevity of the tree farms while dry summers, with the help of the Ionian sea breeze, balance any heatwave. The single-estate organic olive grove receives all the care nature has to offer in a blessed land.
3o LIMITED receives our utmost care as storage conditions must remain ideal throughout the “creation” process from harvest to bottling. The storage conditions for this rare product are extremely important in order to maintain its high polyphenol levels and unique characteristics. Its oleocanthal levels create a burning-like feeling that fades away soon thereafter while its pungent and bitter aspects manifest themselves when eaten raw. This unique olive oil can be taken alone, as food supplement in early morning at least half an hour before breakfast or accompanied by our 3o ORGANIC in a more balanced blend that indulges the senses.
3o LIMITED in the kitchen – Its way above average spicy, bitter and pungent taste gives this rare oil a distinguished place in a chef’s arsenal as it can be used in many olive oil-based dressings or sprinkled raw – blended with 3o ORGANIC – on a wide variety of dishes (from salads to grilled meat or even sushi).
