product information
Sustainably Harvested By Hand In the Kalamata region, in Greece. The Aethalis olive colour is simply incredible and the taste recognisable. This multi-award-winning olive oil comes from a grove, from the region of Kalamata in Greece owned by people who’ve mastered the production of olive oil since 1938. Highly sustainable and absolutely delicious
Why is it infused?
In order to adhere to EU olive oil guidelines, and allow retailers to legally sell on tap the olive oil is infused with trace amounts of Rosemary. It is an infusion in name only and the taste and smell are not affected.
important information: if you receive your olive oil in a glass bottle during cold days (winter), Open the lid just after delivery until the oil warms up a little bit.
With changes of temperature, the oil expands and potentially can break your glass bottle.
To ensure we are in line with regulations around selling EVOO in the UK, the oil has been infused with trace amounts of rosemary. The infusion is so subtle it is hardly noticeable, but means it is legal to sell this product on tap in the UK.

about the brand
They are William Uden and Ilias Panagiotakopoulos and they are Aeithalis. Aeithalis is the Greek word for evergreen. A name that drew its inspiration from the evergreen olive tree so beloved in the Mediterranean and beyond.
The story began in 2017. After the sad passing of Ilias’ father John, William (a Welsh puppeteer, living in London) and Ilias (a creative director, based in Athens) decided to travel to the Panagiotakopoulos family grove which had now been passed down to Ilias.
It did not take long for them both to decide to take up the Panagiotakopoulos family tradition and continue to make Extra Virgin Olive Oil. With help from the local villagers they began restoring the grove and it wasn’t long before it was harvest time. Drawing from the wealth of experience of Ilias’ family and the locals they cold pressed the oil at the cooperative olive mill just a few miles from the grove. They decided that they would harvest the beautiful, ancient tree’s by hand.
This was a much less invasive method for the trees and would lead to a higher quality yield. Upon harvesting they sent their oil to be tested for its quality. The certificate we received showed that this oil was of a rare quality and more importantly, it tasted amazing! At that moment we decided to bottle up a small quantity and the rest is history.
Since then they have begun working extensively with the Zero Waste movement and slow food initiative New Dawn Traders. They want otheirolive oil to be as sustainably made and as tasty as possible because they know that what works best for nature, works best for us.
