Honest Toil Extra Virgin Olive Oil is sourced directly from small family producers in Greece — one of the world’s great olive oil traditions. Cold-pressed from hand-harvested olives, it’s produced with an obsessive attention to quality that results in an oil with genuinely exceptional flavour: grassy, peppery, with a beautiful golden-green colour and the characteristic catch in the throat that marks a truly great extra virgin.

- The Mediterranean diet, of which olive oil is the cornerstone, is the most evidence-based healthy dietary pattern in the world
