Is the harvesting process bird friendly? Not done by machine at night when they are in their nests?

Hello, regarding to your question, we'd like to inform you that the harvesting process takes place with absolute respect to nature and using all the traditional methods. That's why we can assure you that this process is carried out only during the day and exclusively with human hands. It is a very important issue and it is good for all olive growers around the world to pay attention to it. We remain at your disposal for any further questions. eLyrakis

Acidity level not mentioned ?

The acidity remains a mystery for years now. What it says on the front of the tin, is Intensity 02 which is unrelated to acidity. I know chemistry.

Is it a good idea to buy large quantities at a time > 1 litre because of rancidity over time?

I use this olive oil all the time in cooking and salad dressings. Even so, a tin lasts around 4/5 months during which time the quality doesn’t suffer at all. Hope this helps

It says "acidity is very low" but how low. What are the numbers please?

Sorry, most of the information on the tin is in Greek but, in any case, the table ‘nutritional declaration’ which has English does not carry acidity figures. If it’s of any help at all we buy this oil on a regular basis and have always been very happy with it.
