Liquid Gold is a single-varietal, premium-quality olive oil. It has an aromatic flavor of grass, nuts, and citrus. It's perfect for adding that extra touch of flavor to any dish, as well as for salads, dipping, and all cold dishes.
Sous Chef is a mild, premium-quality extra virgin olive oil that's ideal for cooking and frying because it has less of an overpowering flavor. As long as you don't heat the oil above its smoke point (180°C to 200°C), good olive oils can be used for cooking, frying, and even deep-frying.

frequently asked Questions
What is A!'s quality promise? Extra virgin olive oil?
The A brand! stands for 100% pure Greek extra virgin olive oil from Koroneiki olives. We source the olives from farmers in the Andania region in Messenia/Greece. The groves there are managed and harvested in the traditional way. This means a lot of manual work and little use of machines. Harvesting takes place during the day. This means no birds or small creatures are in danger.
Kalamata, the capital of the Messinia region in the Peloponnese, is not only our (second) home, but also that of millions of olive trees. The region is considered the most important olive growing area in Greece, ahead of islands such as Crete and Lesbos. They have been cultivated around Kalamata for thousands of years.
The regionally most important olive variety is the Koroneiki olive.
For good reason: the taste of the small green Koroneiki olive is legendary and its composition is unsurpassed. There is a reason why Koroneiki oil is the most popular olive oil in Greece.
But the geography and climate of the Messinia region also play a role in the taste of A! Olive oil plays a crucial role. The mountainous, extremely dry, stony region, which is very hot in summer, demands a lot of robustness and composure from the trees and the farmers. The result is an olive oil with flavors of citrus fruits and nuts.
Where do the olives come from for A! Extra virgin olive oil?
The Koroneiki olives for A! We source extra virgin olive oil from farmers in Andania, a small village near Kalamata. We process them in our ultra-modern oil mill into pure extra virgin olive oil.
The region around Kalamata is considered the most important olive growing area in Greece. Olives have been cultivated here for thousands of years. In addition to the edible Kalamon (or Kalamata olive) used for oil production, the small green Koroneiki variety dominates here.
For good reason: The
stony, hilly landscape, hot summers and mild winters offer ideal conditions
Requirements for the very aromatic, slightly bitter Koroneiki olives.
What does “extra virgin” mean?
Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality category. Regarding its organoleptic properties, it has no defects; the taste is fruity. Its acidity
must not exceed 0.8%.
The temperature of an extra virgin olive oil must not exceed 27 °C during production. This is important to protect the ingredients. Only under this condition can olive oil be called “cold-pressed” or “cold-extracted” and therefore “extra virgin”.
Other names: extra virgin, extra virgin
What does single-variety mean?
Single-variety means that only olives of one variety are used to produce oil - in our case the Koroneiki variety.
There are more than a thousand varieties of olives worldwide. And most olive oils on the market are blends, i.e. mixtures of oils from different types of olives, often unfortunately of different quality classes.
What does “Bird Safe” mean?
The olives for A! come exclusively from traditionally farmed areas
Groves in Andania that are harvested by hand during the day. No bird or any other creature larger than a fingernail will be harmed here. Industrial cultivation methods with fully automatic
We reject night harvesting that can kill sleeping birds
strictly.
What does cold extraction mean?
There are two methods for obtaining extra virgin olive oil from the olive mash, i.e. separating solid from liquid and oily from water: by pressing or by extraction using a centrifuge. This is where it is decided whether an olive oil is cold-pressed or cold-extracted during production. The press presses the mash between mats and the centrifuge extracts the oil from the mash at several thousand revolutions per minute.
To be labeled as Nativ Extra, the temperature during the production process must not exceed 27°C. The centrifuge is proven to be the gentlest method for processing olives after harvest. Our OEL is then immediately filled with UV and temperature insulation.
Canister or bottle - which is better?
Advantages of the canister:
- Airtight and opaque - two very important criteria to preserve the valuable ingredients
- Tinplate is very easy to recycle. Because it's magnetic, it can be easily picked out in sorting systems and has one of the highest recycling rates of all packaging (91.1% in 2019, compared to 83.4% for glass).
- The canister is very lightweight and, thanks to its square shape, can be packed efficiently. This saves fuel on the long journey from Kalamata to Berlin.
Advantages of the glass bottle:
- She looks great!
- It is easy to open and close
- It has a dosing spout
- Last but not least: It can be refilled and reused
