Product Overview

AEGIS ESTATE’s early-harvest olives grow in the sunlit groves of Corfu, Greece, where olive trees have thrived for centuries under the gentle Mediterranean climate.

Our family-owned estate follows a sustainable, pesticide-free approach, combining ancient traditions with modern standards of excellence and sustainability. Harvested in the early days of October, when the olives are still green and brimming with natural antioxidants, AEGIS ESTATE Early Harvest represents the purest expression of the Corfiot grove. Produced in limited quantities from the local variety “Lianolia” olive. This small-batch olive oil is prized for its bold, grassy notes and its balance of fruitiness and spice—a true reflection of the Greek Mediterranean terroir.

•                    Heart and cardiovascular protection

Sustainability & Farming Practices

AEGIS ESTATE operates within a regenerative framework that protects the environment, supports the local ecosystem, and ensures product purity. Each batch is cold-pressed within max 5 hours of picking, capturing the vibrant freshness that defines early-harvest oils.

• Pesticide-Free Cultivation: No synthetic pesticides or herbicides, ensuring a clean and natural product.

• Hand Harvested: Each olive is carefully picked to protect fruit integrity and reduce environmental impact.

• Cold Extraction: Mechanical extraction below 27°C preserves nutrients, flavor, and aroma.

• Low-Impact Agriculture: Respect for soil health, biodiversity, and long-term grove vitality is central to our philosophy.

• Circular Economy Model: Every stage of production follows a zero-waste principle—olive leaves, pulp, and pits are repurposed for compost and bioenergy, while packaging is recyclable. This regenerative process creates a self-sustaining cycle that benefits both land and community.

• Low Carbon Footprint: Powered by local milling and short, local supply chains, AEGIS ESTATE minimizes its energy consumption and transportation emissions. Every bottle reflects a conscious effort to produce premium olive oil with minimal environmental impact.

Sensory profile/organoleptic characteristics:

Aroma: A dominant positive fruitiness characteristic, aromatic sensations reminiscent of fresh-cut grass, ripe fruit, chamomile, almond, walnut, fresh fruit like apples, and wild herbs.

Taste: A harmoniously balanced olive oil where intense fruitiness always prevails over bitterness and pungency. These qualities are present in moderate, balanced notes and contribute to a complex flavor profile combined with a full-bodied, smooth, “round” texture and pleasing sensations, suggesting a finishing oil ideal for grilled vegetables, fresh salads, freshly baked bread, and cooked Mediterranean dishes.
