This post contains affiliate links. I have partnered with Pomora Olive Oil. They send me quarterly batch of their newest olive oils in exchange for a post. I receive a small compensation from any olive oil orders at no additional cost to you.

Greek Lemon Potatoes

One of the platters I traditionally order at the Greek festivals is the lemon roasted chicken served with Greek lemon potatoes, braised green beans, and dolmades. It is so good. The food is a big plate of warmth and comfort.

My quarterly Pomora olive oil came in! This is a food bloggers dream to have such an amazing package of high end olive oil delivered to your door! When I received my quarterly  Pomora Olive Oil shipment in the mail, I wanted to create something special with the olive oil.  These tasty Greek lemon potatoes were the perfect dish.

Pomora Olive Oil is foodie’s dream gift. When you sign up,  Pomora sends crafted gourmet olive oil straight from their  beautiful Olive Groves in Italy.  Quarterly you will receive a shipment of 3x250ml tins of oil from your tree alternating between gourmet selection of a plain oil quarter and a flavored oil quarter. Their olive oil is exceptional in quality. You can see and taste the difference compared to other olive oils. 

I personally get excited each time a box arrives. I can’t wait to open the box and create fabulous dishes with this amazing olive oil. It really makes a dish special when you use Pomora olive oil in the ingredients.

This month I received the Olio Nuovo assortment which is unfiltered with a distinct fresh flavour and a pizzicante finish. It is INCREDIBLE.
