Lesvos island and Olive Oil
Lesvos island in the north-eastern Aegean sea is the third largest island of Greece and the eighth largest in the Mediterranean sea. The island has approximately 400 kilometres of coastline and an amazing landscape with numerous olive groves. Lesvos has been a source of inspiration for writers, artists, musicians and philosophers from ancient times until today. In Lesvos, the arts, literature and culture have had a prominent place in the lives of people since the beginning of civilization, which is why it is also called the Island of Poets. Lesvos is the home of a variety of PDO products, such as Ouzo, Kalloni sardines and Ladotyri cheese (a hard cheese made from sheep and goat milk preserved in olive oil). It is also the home to 11,000,000 olive trees, covering approximately 20% of Greek olive oil production. According to historical sources and finds, such as an excavated olive press dating back to 2800–2000 BC, it is believed that Lesvos has been producing olive oil since the Bronze Age. Since then and still today, Lesvos has been a renowned and integral part of the olive oil industry. The olive oil from Lesvos is unique because it is produced from different varieties of olive trees than the rest of the country. In the south mainly grows the Kolovi variety of olives, also called Mytilinia olives (the capital of Lesvos island). And to the north grows the Adramitini variety, a local variety from the Adramiti area of Asia Minor. Both varieties produce the liquid gold of the island.
