Agios Ilias
Balanced · generous
Our most balanced cuvée: round, generous, immediately elegant.
Agios Ilias wins you over with its roundness and finesse: a supple oil at home with a carpaccio, a rocket salad or an aged cheese. Hand-picked and cold-extracted, it is among our most decorated cuvées.
160 olive trees: about a hundred over 150 years old, some sixty aged 40 to 75 · 700 m from the Ionian Sea · black soil threaded with marine fossils

What sets it apart
Agios Ilias is our most awarded cuvée, and the one listed by Olive Oil Times among the World's Best Olive Oils, the official guide of the NYIOOC competition in New York. Its 0.42% free acidity is close to half the European limit of 0.8% for an extra virgin olive oil, and its 359 mg/kg of polyphenols is 1.4 times the 250 mg/kg threshold of the European health claim. The independent laboratory's full reports are published on our Analyses page.
One grove, one year
At Oikos Antalis, each cuvée bears the name of its grove and is never blended with oil from another estate. Agios Ilias oil comes only from the Agios Ilias trees, hand-picked and cold-extracted at our master miller's in Varvassena.
