What is Pamako Olive Oil?

Pamako is a high-phenolic extra virgin olive oil produced from ancient olive trees in Crete. It has received more than 350 international awards and is known for its exceptionally high polyphenol content and distinctive flavor. It is considered the most phenolic EVOO on the market.

Can I cook with Pamako olive oil, or should it only be used raw?

Both! Because of its high antioxidant content, Pamako olive oil is stable when heated and can be used for cooking. However, many people prefer to use it raw over salads, vegetables, bread, or finished dishes to fully enjoy its aroma and flavor.
