Produced in Greece

Extra virgin olive oil; superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means

Kali mera - here comes our Greek lesson for eating. Brand-new is our Cretan olive oil at IL GUSTO. 100% of one variety, exclusively from cultivated trees of the sort Koroneiki, unfiltered, extra cold-pressed and therefore exceptional for your health. For digestion, blood, heart and skin. Thousand years old plants from the enchanted hills at the back of the well known harbour Agios Nikolaos carry ripe fruit with full flavour on their chapped arms, the source for our fantastic oil. We order directly at the producer - a cooperative of old-established Cretan families -, always in limited quantities so that best quality is ensured all the time. Look forward for this Cretan elixir of life! These people swear on that greenish-yellow oil, which smells a little bit like grass. And experts suspect it as the secret for the noticeable high life expectancy on this island!
