IN THIS RECIPE

ARGILOS I EARLY

For the Horiatiki (traditional Greek village salad), we recommend using Argilos I Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Its robust and complex flavor profile, featuring delicate notes of greens, grass, tomato stem, artichoke, citrus, and black pepper, enhances the freshness of the salad's ingredients. This early harvest oil's high antioxidant content and fresh, grassy aroma further elevate the dish, making it an ideal choice for an authentic and flavorful Greek salad experience.
