ládi

Oil. In Greece it's always olive oil, elaiólado (ελαιόλαδο) unless otherwise stated; παρθένο ελαιόλαδο (parthéno elaiólado) is virgin olive oil.

There are never-ending arguements as to who produces the best. Nineteen olive oils from around Greece are designated PDO: Crete, Halkidikí, Kalamáta, Lygourió, Laconía, Kefaloniá, Olympía, Lésvos, Préveza, Rhodes, Thásos, Sámos, and Zákynthos
