Question 1

When will the robust oil be available?

Accepted Answer

Dear Mr. Sheets,
This is James from PJ KABOS and I would like to thank you for your interest in our products!
God willing, around February 2018, it should be available on Amazon. And I say God willing, because this always depends on mother nature allowing us to produce it :)
We are currently in pre-harvest mode and will have a better picture of this in the weeks to come. Please feel free to contact me via Amazon email so I can keep you better updated.
Thank you once more. Wishing you all the best from Greece,

Question 2

is this oil unfiltered? thanks

Accepted Answer

Dear Mr. Rick,
My name is James from PJ KABOS and I would like to thank you for your interest in our product!
We always filter our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, please let me explain why: Although an Extra Virgin Olive Oil being unfiltered sounds very special (and good for marketing), there is another, very important side to it...
Don't get me wrong, nothing is better for me than tasting freshly extracted Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the mill that has a cloudy green color, possibly combining this with warm fresh made bread...Yum! However, past this point, if an Extra Virgin Olive Oil stays unfiltered, this greatly reduces its shelf life as Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is my experience (and according to other studies) that even after just a couple months, it starts developing tasting defects (one of those to be muddy sediment). And if an oil has even a small tasting defect it is no more considered to be in the Extra Virgin category. It is then demoted to the Virgin Olive Oil category. Additionally, if an olive oil is unfiltered its smoke point is greatly reduced compared to if the same oil was filtered (and would then have a lower humidity content). 
Also, very importantly, if an oil is unfiltered the chances increase for something unwanted to pass on into the bottle the final consumer will purchase (I will not mention what these might be). So by filtering you might lose just a very small fraction of taste and aroma at the very beginning (not noticeable to most in a blind taste-test) but the quality gains are much more substantial.
It is actually much easier and cheaper for us to leave the oil unfiltered, since like this no further work is involved not to mention the actual oil quantities we lose in the filters. But we are not looking for the easy or cheap way. Our up most concern is to achieve the highest possible quality for the maximum amount of time and all our actions at PJ KABOS have this as our only target. By the way, the filters used are suitable, simple paper filters, absolutely no chemicals involved, and we always use new filters every time. 
I hope this helps, please let me know should you have any further questions. Thank you!
Kindest regards from Greece,

Question 3

Can you use it on ur body and hair?

Accepted Answer

Dear Masha,Yes you can! I am not a doctor so can not give you medical advise but according to many studies, a high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil is as good for inside the body when consumed as a food, as it is for the outside when applied on one's hair or skin. It is no coincidence that olive oil was used in ancient days for various everyday applications. Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 100% pure olive juice with no additives. With an acidity of 0.14% during production it is of the highest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil one can find. Thank you for your interest in PJ KABOS Extra Virgin Olive Oil and please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions. Best regards, James Panagiotopoulos PJ KABOS
