Product description

VION Castello Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from the sun-drenched slopes of Cape Maleas in Lakonia, a region known for its strong winds and unique coastal microclimate. Produced from olive trees—many over 200 years old—this olive oil reflects a 100-year family tradition, rooted in care, experience, and respect for the land.

Cold extracted and organically farmed, VION Castello is distinguished by its exceptionally high polyphenol content, containing 3–5 times more polyphenols than the minimum required. A bold olive oil created for those who value both intensity of flavor and nutritional excellence.

Tasting Notes

• Fruitiness: Intense green

• Aromas: Olive leaf, artichoke, wild herbs

• Bitterness: Pronounced and structured

• Pungency: Long, peppery finish

• Texture: Dense, vibrant, persistent

A powerful, high-polyphenol olive oil with a clean, expressive character.

Food Pairing

At the Olivest we had the great opportunity to taste Vion Castello and it left us with the best impression. This amazing fresh extra virgin olive oil pairs best with dishes of equal intensity:

• Grilled lamb, goat, or beef

• Lentils, chickpeas, or fava

• Steamed wild greens (horta)

• Bitter salads and legumes

• Whole-grain bread with sea salt

Best enjoyed raw, where its aromas, pungency, and health properties truly stand out.
