Mitira Lesvos | Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (PGI)

Mitira Lesvos | Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (PGI)

“Mitira” means “mother” in the local dialect of Lesvos. The brand pays homage to mother earth, as well as to every mother who nurtures her child with care and affection. Mitira olive oil meets the long-standing tradition of Lesvos’ olive oil production, as it is a tribute to the family who kept our olive grove alive for more than 100 years. 

The Karali family olive grove dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. Their estate is located on a small hill overlooking the Mytilene port. Taking advantage of the soil’s rich limestone substrate, olive trees grow amphitheatrically on man-made stone terraces, forming a magnificent sight.
Today, continuing ancestors’ tradition, they harvest our olive trees with the same love and respect for their land, which reciprocates by offering us its best fruit. 

Tasting Notes
Experience MITIRA Lesvos’ alluring herbaceous aroma with an exceptionally balanced and lasting sensation on the palate, and a slightly bitter aftertaste due the vast presence of polyphenols. An ideal accompaniment for your salads and dishes, or can simply be enjoyed on a piece of bread.
