Description

Extra virgin olive oil from Kritsa, Crete

Kritsa Cooperative extra-virgin olive oil comes exclusively fromKoroneiki olives, grown around the Cretan village of the same name. Thanks to the altitude, dry climate and stony soils, the olive trees grow slowly but harmoniously. As a result, the fruit gains in intensity, complexity and nutritional richness. Each parcel of land reflects agricultural know-how handed down from generation to generation.

Controlled harvesting and extraction methods

The growers harvest the olives by hand, always at the optimum moment of ripeness. They then transport them without delay to the local cooperative mill. There, they press the olives mechanically, cold, at a controlled temperature. This constant care preserves the oil’s aromas, nutrients and natural freshness. In this way, they guarantee high, stable taste quality.

A local cooperative founded on strong values

From the outset, the Kritsa cooperative has brought together farming families united by a common vision. Together, they cultivate olive trees with rigor, while respecting the environment. They also share sustainable methods, without ever sacrificing quality. Thanks to this commitment, their oil is one of the most recognized in Crete, year after year.

A format to suit every kitchen
