Alongside Pamako, we’re proud to offer Biolea – a truly unique olive oil made using the rare traditional method of stone milling and cold pressing, perfected through modern innovation.

Biolea is a gem in the olive oil world — one of the very few oils globally still produced using this ancient method.

 

🔬 Tradition Reinvented by Science

The Dimitriadis family at the Astrikas Estate in Crete has taken this centuries-old method and brought it into the 21st century — with over 30 years of scientific research, technical refinement, and deep commitment to preserving quality and tradition.

Unlike industrial production, Biolea’s process focuses on:

✅ Short milling times to reduce oxidation
✅ Stainless steel filters instead of plastic or fiber – preserving aroma integrity
Slow, gentle extraction done mostly by hand, with great care and attention

 

💚 Why It Matters

This method isn’t just more time-consuming – it also demands expertise, precision, and passion. But the result is worth every step:

🌿 A sustainable, high-quality, small-batch oil with a velvety texture, vibrant citrus notes, and a refined, elegant taste.

 

✨ Signature Flavor Notes

🍋 Lemon – gently bitter, bright and fresh
🍊 Bitter orange – soft, layered, and complex

 

🌱 Biolea Stands for More Than Taste

Biolea represents more than just a premium olive oil. It’s a symbol of:

  • 🌿 Authenticity

  • 🛠️ Craftsmanship

  • 🐢 Sustainable, slower production

  • 🤝 A respectful harmony with nature and tradition

If you value real food made with real care, Biolea is a taste of history and innovation in every drop.

FAQ

Are wild mushrooms “better” than cultivated?

Wild often wins on culinary complexity, cultivated often wins on consistency and routine-friendly formats.
How do I use dried porcini mushrooms?
Soak in warm water for 15–25 minutes, chop, cook as usual and save the soaking liquid as a broth base.
Can I use mushroom powder in cooking?
Yes. Powders are excellent for sauces, soups, and seasoning blends when you want quick umami.

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.
