Description

An exceptional extra virgin olive oil

Chondrolia extra-virgin olive oil comes from a demanding Greek variety, cultivated for generations on the Messara plain in Crete. Renowned for its high oil content (up to 28%), Chondrolia develops a natural sweetness at maturity, with little bitterness. This 200 ml bottle contains oil produced from thousand-year-old olive trees, carefully tended by the Zacharioudakis family.

A family tradition handed down with passion

From the village of Vori, brothers Stelios and Manolis, accompanied by their children, perpetuate the gestures inherited from their father Nikolaos. Thanks to their meticulous know-how, each harvest becomes a tribute to the Cretan land. The semi-mature olives are harvested by hand, carefully sorted, then mechanically cold-pressed on the very same day. In this way, every drop reflects the purity of the terroir.

Authentic taste and high nutritional quality

This olive oil is distinguished by its aromatic intensity and silky texture. Rich in antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids, it goes equally well with Mediterranean dishes and more contemporary recipes. Thanks to its low bitterness and freshness, it enhances salads, fish fillets and artisan breads alike.

An elegant and precious format

Packaged in 200 ml bottles, this extra-virgin olive oil is as enjoyable to give as it is to savor. Whether for personal tasting or as a refined gift, it seduces with its rarity and its history. Each bottle tells the story of a thousand-year-old olive tree, the Cretan sun and the passion of a family.
