Review: The most heart healthy I have found yet. Flavors like you just pressed it yourself. - If you didn't know, the more your throat burns after eating olive oil, the higher quality the oil. That burning is the same thing in ibuprofen. If you chewed an ibuprofen pill, you'd get the same burn. The bigger the burn, the more heart healthy it is. That burn is caused by oleocanthal. This is top notch olive oil and it tastes like you just pressed it yourself. The flavor is burning and of deep green raw olives. If you want a mild olive oil, I would stick to store bought such as Goya. If you want a true healthy, rich, flavorful, deep experience, then this is for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Limited Edition Governor Olive Oil
*by R***Z on August 25, 2026*

Absolutely the best olive oil that I have tried thus far. I recommend this to all true olive oil consumers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite ingredient in my kitchen
*by A***Y on October 1, 2023*

I have many ingredients in my kitchen that I don’t give much thought to: salt, black pepper, sugar, flour, and (typically) olive oil. This olive oil is unlike anything else I’ve tasted. It has a strong peppery flavor that is simply delicious. As other have mentioned, I too have visited the mill where this olive oil is produced. The family who runs it takes extreme care of their olive grove and maintain some trees that are over 1,000 years old. This is my go-to olive oil for any recipe that doesn’t require heating the oil (if you’re going to heat the oil to sauté, you’re better off using typical grocery store olive oil). One bottle typically lasts me about 6 months. It is very much worth the high price (most of which is due to shipping - if you find yourself on Corfu, you can grab a bottle at any market for €35). Fun fact for you: “The Governor” is in reference to the first President of Greece post Ottoman occupation. His name was Ioannis Kapodistrias and he was a pivotal figure in modern Greek history. This olive oil pays tribute to Kapodistrias as he was from the island of Corfu.
