About Dr Kavvadia Extra Virgin Olive Oil Thiako
A remarkable olive oil from one of our favourite places on Earth: Corfu. Dr. Kavvadia was an orthopaedic surgeon who lived on the island of Corfu many years ago. The Doctor’s greatest passion was producing olive oil from his centenarian olive grove, from a local variety called “Lianelia”. Dr. Kavvadia was among the first producers worldwide to produce and bottle two rare and local varieties, Lianelia and Thiako, and was the first producer ever to win gold quality awards in New York and Tokyo, showing the potential of the olive oil. Originated from Cephalonia Island and Ithaca Island, Thiako variety contains high levels of antioxidant polyphenols. It has a complex, fruity taste, mild and bitter.
