Nature's Masterpiece
From Crete to Your Table
We are proud to present our single-varietal Premium Greek Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, pressed exclusively from Koroneiki olives grown in the unspoiled Messara Valley of southern Crete - a region celebrated for its ancient groves, fertile soil, and maritime microclimate. This limited harvest embodies the purity and heritage of Greek olive oil craftsmanship, capturing the essence of the island’s land and sun.
Cold-extracted within hours of harvest, this oil delivers not only the rich, vibrant flavors you’ve come to expect, but also an exceptional polyphenol content of 443 mg/kg, offering both remarkable stability and health-promoting properties. Every drop reflects meticulous care and traceable authenticity - from certified organic cultivation to bottling in Crete, with full lab analyses available online.
Tasting Notes: Bold, herbaceous notes of wild greens and green almond, balanced by the smooth freshness of ripe olives and a lingering peppery finish - an uncompromising taste of Crete’s untamed landscape.
Our two-bottle set arrives in elegant premium packaging with a complimentary stainless-steel spout, the perfect touch for both gifting and everyday indulgence.
