Pamako olive oils from Crete
Pamako produces extra virgin olive oils from the mountainous region of Chania, Crete. The range includes a Tsounati monovarietal olive oil and a Mountain Blend combining Tsounati and Koroneiki. The variety and composition depend on the particular product, rather than on the Pamako name alone.
Tsounati monovarietal and Mountain Blend
The Tsounati monovarietal is made from the Tsounati olive variety. Pamako Premium Mountain Blend combines 60% Tsounati and 40% Koroneiki. Both are available in 500ml bottles in our range. Check the selected product page for the bottle, harvest information and current availability.
Flavour and serving
Pamako olive oils have a fruity character with a peppery finish. Enjoy them with Greek salad, grilled vegetables, seafood or fresh bread. They can also be added to a finished dish to bring the flavour of the olive oil to the foreground.
Bitterness and pungency are sensory characteristics of extra virgin olive oil. Taste alone does not establish a numerical polyphenol content.
Choosing a bottle and reading its analysis
For phenolic measurements, acidity and other batch-specific information, consult the laboratory documents supplied for the particular product and harvest. Results for a monovarietal oil should not be assumed to describe a different blend or a later batch.
Check the certification shown on the selected product and its packaging when choosing an organic olive oil. Awards and certificates should be matched to the exact product and year; they should not be assumed to apply to every bottle in a producer's range.
Storing extra virgin olive oil
- Keep the bottle tightly closed.
- Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and the cooker.
- Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the bottle.
Pamako as a gourmet gift
The Pamako gift set brings together one 500ml Tsounati monovarietal bottle and one 500ml Mountain Blend bottle in a luxury paper gift box. It offers a way to explore two different olive-oil compositions from the same Cretan producer.
