CRETE SITIA AOP 03 - 12X50CL Olive Oil

In the heart of eastern Crete, the Sitia basin has cultivated olives for millennia on limestone terraces exposed to sea winds. The PDO protecting this oil enforces traceable origin and strict specifications: early harvest, rapid pressing, and controlled acidity. The result is a clean aromatic profile—green fruitiness, pronounced bitterness, and a slight peppery finish—hallmarks of a fully controlled cold-press process.

In professional kitchens, it excels as a finishing touch: a drizzle over seared cod, burrata, or scallop carpaccio enhances its complexity without overpowering flavors. It also elevates vinaigrettes for legume salads and short marinades for grilled white meats. On an Olives & Spreads platter, it naturally complements hummus and eggplant caviar as a service dip.

To adapt volumes to your needs, find the same PDO Sitia oil in 1 L format (case of 12). You can also expand your selection with the Kalamata olive oil in 1 L, another gem from the Hellenic peninsula.
