Extra virgin olive oil Cretan Essence – Pure olive oil. Pure Koroneiki. Pure Crete. Cretan Essence is an extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from 100% Koroneiki olives – the finest and most traditional variety in Crete. These small, robust olives produce an oil of exceptional quality: rich in polyphenols, intense in flavor, with fruity and slightly spicy notes. The hand-picked olives come from ancient groves around Agia Galini in the south of the island, where olive trees have thrived under ideal climatic conditions for thousands of years. Between the sea and the mountains, near the historic sites of Phaistos and the beaches of Preveli, this olive oil is produced using traditional methods of handcrafting – entirely without chemical additives, purely mechanically and cold-extracted. With an acidity of < 0.3%, Cretan Essence is one of the purest and highest quality oils in its class. ✅100% natural ✅ Rich in valuable nutrients ✅ No artificial flavors, additives, or preservatives.
