Ladolemono – Greek Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing

Ladolemono (Λαδολέμονο) is a staple in Greek cuisine, known for its bright, citrusy flavor and smooth yet peppery finish. The key to an exceptional Ladolemono is high-quality extra virgin olive oil, making Argilos I (Early) and Argilos II (Green) ideal choices. Their bold intensity and rich polyphenol content enhance the dressing, giving it a vibrant, well-balanced taste.
