Meraki – Unfiltered Extra Virgin Home Olive Oil (500 ml / 1 l)

In Greek cuisine, olive oil is not an “occasional” ingredient. It sits on the table, goes on bread, in salads, and on finished dishes when you want to put the finishing touch. Meraki is our own brand at Spitiko — olive oil chosen in this spirit: simple, homemade, but with a quality you can taste.

Origin and quality

This is unfiltered extra virgin olive oil from the island of Evia (Euboea). Unfiltered means it is not clarified to be "sparkling" – it may naturally be slightly cloudy, and over time a delicate sediment may appear. This is normal in this type of olive oil and results from the presence of small pulp particles and natural components from the olives.

Taste and consistency

Classic, olive character and velvety texture. If you want to specify the notes (e.g., fruitiness, pepperiness, delicate bitterness), we will supplement the description based on tasting or label information.

Culinary use

• for salads: horiatiki, arugula with tomato, feta salads
• for bread: on a plate + oregano and a pinch of salt (simple mezze)
• for roasted vegetables: bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, potatoes
• for pasta and rice: as a finishing touch on a ready dish
• for fish and seafood: at the end, with lemon
• for homemade marinades: olive oil + lemon + garlic + herbs

What to combine with

Most simply: fresh bread, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, olives, and oregano. For warm dishes: roasted potatoes, pan-fried vegetables, grilled dishes, fish. Meraki also likes sour accents – lemon, wine vinegar, capers.

FAQ

1) Why is the olive oil cloudy?
This is the effect of not being filtered — a natural characteristic of this type of olive oil.

Yes, sediment may appear in unfiltered olive oils. This is not a defect of the product.

3) Is this olive oil only for salads?
No — it's versatile. It works well for salads, bread, marinades, and as a finishing touch for dishes.

4) How to store after opening?
Tightly sealed, away from light and heat.

5) Which capacity to choose: 500 ml or 1 l?
500 ml will be ideal if you use olive oil more slowly or want to start with a smaller bottle. 1 l is the choice for everyday cooking and for those who always have olive oil "on the table."
