“The results of the New York (Olive Oil) competition surprised many who are not familiar with Greek brands. With a strong presence, an example of how it is possible for such a good olive oil to come from a non-traditional olive oil producing region, receiving awards wherever it is present. I am talking about Kyklopas from Evros, (Northern Greece). Yes, that is right. Their presence in New York added one more award to their list, and the unique characteristics of this olive oil with its medium intensity of fruitiness, with aromas of wild fruit, exotic fruits and distinctive aroma of banana, vanilla and almond, in combination with appetizing characteristics of intense green fruit, green pepper and tomato, all beautifully harmonized and with an immense complexity and duration of aftertaste, justifies its ranking as one of the finest olive oils in the world.”
