Meraki – Unfiltered Extra Virgin Home-Style Olive Oil 0.5l - Set of 2
In Greek cuisine, olive oil is not an "occasion-only" condiment. It sits on the table, is drizzled on bread, in salads, and on finished dishes when you want to put the final touch. Meraki is our private label at Spitiko – olive oil chosen with 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 clear" – it may be naturally slightly cloudy, and a delicate sediment may appear over time. This is normal for this type of olive oil and results from the presence of small particles of pulp and natural components from the olives.
Taste and texture
Classic olive character and velvety texture. If you want us to specify the notes (e.g., fruitiness, pepperiness, delicate bitterness), we will update the description based on tasting or information from the label.
Culinary applications
- 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 pair it with
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.
