Sitia Lasithiou Kritis

This extra virgin olive oil of exceptional quality is obtained from the Koroneiki olive variety, which is traditionally cultivated in Sitia. These olives are gathered by beating the trees with small wooden sticks in order to avoid bruising the fruit.

The best olives from the harvest are selected and cleaned to be processed in traditional or centrifugal olive mills. The processing conditions are monitored to keep the temperature below 30°C in order to preserve the oil's organoleptic characteristics.

The final product is yellow-green and highly viscous. The taste and smell of Sitia Lasithiou Kritis is strongly reminiscent of ripe olives.
