"If you lower the acidity too much, the grassy aroma and bitterness become excessive. That's not the taste of the comforting food grandmother used to make. Preserving the natural flavor as it is, rather than manufacturing an artificial number - that's the pride that belongs only to YiaYia, passed down from her grandmother."
(Longblack @longblack.co, "YiaYia & Friends: A Greek designer presses memories of her grandmother into olive oil")
Turning down the flashy, high-yield, large-fruited varieties, they insist on the small, rustic Koroneiki variety that grew on the grandmother's farm. What's more, they don't force the acidity down below 0.2%. This isn't just a cute story - it's the story of YiaYia & Friends, an olive oil brand that remembers a grandmother.
YiaYia γιαγιά means "grandmother" 👵 in Greek.
