IliadaKalamata PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 500mL | Multi-Awarded | Single Region 100% Greek | Monovarietal Koroneiki | Cold Press | Polyphenol Rich | Chef's Favorite

I have used Iliada olive oil for years; it has a unique peppery taste that pleases me, so for me this brand is Five Star.It has a pure clear yellow-greenish color.However, the latest shipment arrived broken due to inadequate packaging.

I've used this brand for several years now and it is simply the best tasting kalamata oil I have ever used. I know a lot of people prefer the peppery taste of Italian olive oils but I've always preferred the more gentle, warm taste/flavor of Greek kalamata oils or Spanish oils that are harvested later in the season and this particular brand makes a wonderful oil. The flavor is clear and clean. Good quality.

The VERY BEST regular customer.

delicious for fresh salads, beautiful packaging, highest quality

Tastes delicious but the bottle wasn't sealed tightly and much leaked out on the journey.

Great olive oil but it doesn’t list polyphenol level. I’m looking for very high polyphenol content so I switched to a brand that lists and conforms high polyphenol levels.

Can’t find this in the stores anymore. Excellent olive oil.

This olive oil was the worst I've ever tasted. I've been a chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York for 25 years, and I've tasted olive oils from all over the world. Unfortunately, they all taste the same, like banana flavored vegetable oil. and some have no flavor at all, just like this Iliada olive oil. The worst part is, there's no harvest date on the bottle, only an expiration date. The bottle I bought expires in six months. It's very important to have the harvest date on an olive oil bottle so the buyer knows whether the oil is from the last harvest or the one before. As a chef, taste is very important to me. As I've mentioned before, I've tasted olive oils from all over the world, from Italy to Australia. The taste I'm looking for is for olive oil to taste like olives, and that's what it should be. Last week, I ordered an olive oil called Ayvaco from Amazon. (Harvest date and certifications are listed on the bottle) It comes from the Ayvalik region of Turkey, and I knew before ordering that their olive varieties are different from those other countries. Anyway, I tasted it just before writing this review. Believe me, it was the most delicious olive oil I've ever tasted every drop tastes like olives! My 30 years of search is finally over now!!!; I'm so happy and crying right now!!!! I recommend you to try Ayvaco evoo you can buy it here on Amazon. Please remember that olive oil should taste like OLIVES, not like bananas or green apples!!!
