Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and White Truffle Oil
I am incredibly proud to be bringing you these exceptional Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Nissaki Oil. Here's our story.....
In 2024, encouraged by friends and family, my husband, Des and I decided to share our homegrown organic extra virgin olive oil and truffle oils with a wider audience. With over 20 years of experience hand-picking and pressing Lianolia olives from our small orchard of just 27 trees in Nissaki, located on the North East coast of Corfu, we embarked on this exciting new journey. Our ancient Lianolia olive trees have been thriving for over 800 years at the base of Mount Pantocrator, just 50 metres from the sea and the olives they produce have a distinct flavour profile that’s simply hard to find anywhere else.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Nissaki Oil. The olives are grown organically, without pesticides or chemical fertilisers, ensuring the land’s health is preserved and the surrounding environment is protected. Our small-scale, hands-on approach allows for careful harvesting, and the olive trees stand as a testament to the enduring bond between nature and local tradition.
Each November, we hand-pick the olives in small batches and press them within 24 hours at the local olive press to ensure maximum freshness. This critical 24-hour window is key to preserving the highest quality extra virgin olive oil, as olives begin to ferment and degrade rapidly after picking. Nissaki Oil far exceeds the standard for Extra Virgin Olive Oil, with an acidity of only 0.4% in the 2024 harvest—ensuring a truly superior product. (See below) **
After resting for a month in 20-litre tins, the oil is either bottled directly into 500ml ceramic containers for our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil or infused with natural white truffle essence to create the Organic Extra Virgin White Truffle Oil. This oil, with its delicate, earthy aroma, perfectly complements the bold, peppery taste of the Lianolia olives and is then bottled in 200ml ceramic containers. The use of ceramic not only adds beauty but also protects the oil from sunlight, preserving its vibrant green colour and robust flavours for longer. Additionally, the containers are fully refillable and reusable, reflecting our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Whether you’re a new customer or a friend who’s been enjoying our oil for years, we truly hope you’ll continue to love Nissaki Oil for many years to come.
Much love

** Why Choose Nissaki Oil? **
For an olive oil to be classified as Extra Virgin, its acidity must be less than 0.8%. Nissaki Oil's Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil far exceeds this standard with an acidity of only 0.4% for the 2024 harvest.

LADOLEA Olive Oils and Vinegars


Ladolea is a small family company, run by two brothers who began producing this exquisite oil 2012 and in 2014 won their first award, which was quickly followed by many more including Prestige Gold and Best Packaging Design in the Mediterranean International Olive Oil Competition 2018 to name but a few. These multi award winning oils and vinegars not only taste delicious and but are sustainably harvested, making them a responsible choice. The shape of the REFILLABLE bottles is totally unique. The design was inspired by an ancient pot called Aryballos, dated to 700B.C., which was used by the aristocracy of the era for preserving their valuable essential oils. They really are an absolutely beautiful addition to anyone's kitchen.
** NEW ** Hereford Honey and Hot Honey
I am thrilled to introduce my very own Hereford Honey and Hot Honey! As a beekeeper for over 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to share the pure deliciousness of honey with family and friends, and now I’m excited to bring it to a wider audience.
My bees exclusively collect nectar from the gardens of Hereford, ensuring that every jar is filled with authentic, pure honey—no sugar syrup additives here, just nature’s finest. Each jar captures the essence of our local flora, offering a unique flavour profile that’s both rich and vibrant.
Hereford Hot Honey is perfect for drizzling over salads, pizzas, and cheeses, adding an irresistible combination of heat and sweetness to elevate any dish. Whether you’re enhancing a charcuterie board or livening up your favourite recipes with Hot Honey, or simply enjoying my gorgeous plain Honey on hot toast or a crumpet, this is a must-have in your kitchen.
Indulge in the delightful taste of Hereford Honey and Hot Honey—where nature’s sweetness meets a bold, spicy twist!
