Honest Toil Olive Oil

Honest Toil Olive Oil

.

Tom & Juli run Honest Toil as a team of two, weaving olive oil into their wanderings and eternal quest for a life and work that is humble & sustainable. Originally from the UK and Hungary, they fell in love with Greece when Tom’s family relocated to the town of Kyparissia in the Western Peloponnese. They suddenly found themselves responsible for a tiny olive grove, consulting neighbours down the local taverna on harvesting techniques and exploring the olive press of Armenios where they soon became regulars. This is how they ended up with their first batch of self-produced olive oil: the freshest, greenest, grassiest stuff they had ever tasted.

Honest Toil's shelf life is a minimum of 1.5 years from the harvest date. Unlike filtered and processed olive oils, Honest Toil is a living substance with a lifespan. This means that around harvest time, the oil is thick and green with a peppery kick, then as the oil matures, its colour turns golden and its flavour softens. This is a perfectly natural process that Tom and Juli respect and celebrate.
