Sellas, Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 5Lt, Tin

My origins are from Sparta and we know of good food and good oils. I happened to come across this one afternoon whilst looking through amazon. I know the area and the Oil, but have never bought it before, until now. The price was spot on for just a little over 30 gbp for 5 ltr, and 6 pounds a litre for decent olive oil did not strike me as expensive, quite the contrary... Peppery, green, with a lovely deep and subtle aroma, just like olive oil should be; good for cooking, but mainly an eating oil really.. Thankfully both the price and the quality are worth every penny and I will be looking to purchase once again after we finish this.

It's the first time i'm trying this brand, usually we go for more well known Greek brands and from Crete. Good olive oil isn't easy to find in the UK and we thought to try the Corinthian one as when we were region last the oil was amazing (also the wine). The taste will always depend on the how the harvest season went and this one was quite good. It has a medium taste and fruitiness with a little bitter after taste which is common in a good olive oil. The tin did have some flight damage to it but nothing that affected the product. I would recommend it to anyone, it's a lovely oil and good price. It's also on the 'official index of the world bests olive oils for 2018' which helped our decision.

I purchase bulk oil for all purpose use and this item meets both quality and value for money with great service. Da iawn everyone.

It arrived intact and on time, no issues at all. I really liked the taste, it has a very balanced profile of pungent and mellow notes. I will purchase it again.

Nice taste and colour. Tasty but not too strong and at the price not bad at all. I haven't had a chance to use much yet as finishing off other bottles but I always open an try new products when they arrive and this was my first time purchase of this brand. That's my only reason for 4 stars not 5. Amazon delivery reliable as always.

I have bought 5 litre tins before, and noted they are better quality than supermarket Extra Virgin Olive oil. This Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil is better in that it is from a single region (Peloponnese) in Greece. Cheaper Olive Oils are blended, sometimes from even different country's. The Sellas Olive Oil is from a family business, which was setup in 1992.

Lots of plastic in the wrapping. A more ecological approach may help in the future if this doesn't raise the cost.

In summary, it is pretty bland which, I guess makes it versatile, but for us it lacks character. If, on the other hand, you dislike grassy/peppery oil then this is stuff for you. Do not recommend and shall not buy again.
