The Best Olive Oils from Crete

Crete is not just a picturesque Greek island, but also the birthplace of some of the world's finest olive oils. The unique climate, fertile soils, and centuries-old cultivation traditions make Cretan oil a product of the highest quality. Olive oil from this region is known for its rich flavor, delicate aroma, and high content of health-promoting antioxidants. Let's take a closer look at some of the most renowned brands of Cretan olive oil: Greek Legend, Akrotiri, Messinia, and Terra Creta.

Greek Legend

Greek Legend is a premium cold-pressed olive oil produced in Crete. It is made from the Koroneiki variety of olives, which are considered one of the best varieties for oil production. The olives are hand-picked and processed within hours of harvesting, preserving the oil’s freshness and rich aroma. Greek Legend stands out with its mild taste featuring notes of green apples, freshly cut grass, and a light bitterness, typical of high-quality extra virgin oils.

A distinctive feature of Greek Legend is its low acidity (around 0.3%), making it a perfect choice for cold salads and Mediterranean dishes. With its high content of polyphenols and vitamin E, this oil boasts strong antioxidant properties.

Although the region of Messinia is not located in Crete, the oils of this brand are widely sold and highly valued across the island. These oils are distinguished by their pronounced taste with mild spicy notes, making them a great choice for those who appreciate more intense flavor experiences.

Messinia olive oil is produced according to strict standards to guarantee its purity and quality. It has a smooth, silky texture and a bright aroma of fresh herbs and green olives, making it perfect for use in both cold dishes and for frying and baking.
