Description

Organic extra virgin olive oil from the Cretan terroir

Skoutari organic extra virgin olive oil comes exclusively from the Koroneiki variety, grown in eastern Crete. More precisely, the olive groves stretch between Kritsa and Kavousi, over more than 24 family hectares. Thanks to the altitude, the dry climate and the natural fertility of the soil, the trees flourish. As a result, the fruit offers a rich, powerful and perfectly balanced taste.

Rich in polyphenols right from the harvest

Harvesting takes place very early in the season, when the olives have the highest concentration of antioxidants. Cold pressing takes place within a few hours, at temperatures below 27°C. This special care preserves a high level of polyphenols, while maintaining low acidity. As a result, the oil retains all its nutritional benefits.

A scientifically validated daily health benefit

According to numerous clinical studies, daily consumption of organic extra-virgin olive oil rich in polyphenols can help prevent certain pathologies. Not only does it help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress, it also helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. It also naturally boosts the immune system.

Recognized family craftsmanship

Since 2000, the family has been cultivating its olive trees using organic and traditional methods. They also collaborate with university researchers to regularly analyze oil quality. Thanks to this rigorous approach, Skoutari oil benefits from a health claim in compliance with EU regulation no. 432/2012. It has also received numerous international awards.

A designer bottle for an exceptional oil

The Red Dot award-winning matte orange bottle combines modernity and cultural heritage. It reflects not only the quality of the product, but also the visual commitment of the brand. Thanks to its elegant presentation, this olive oil can also be given as a gourmet gift.
