Apokoronas Chanion Kritis

The biggest island in Greece, Crete, is a popular holiday destination with a mild Mediterranean climate that is perfect for olive growing. Among the many oils produced there, Apokoronas Chanion Kritis olive oil is definitely one worth tasting.

It is made in the municipality of Apokoronas in Chania prefecture. The olive oil from this area is known for its mellow taste and fruity flavor. This is an extra virgin oil produced from the Koroneiki variety of olive (at least 90% of the olives used in production must be of this variety).

Cleaned olives of the best quality are processed in traditional or centrifugal olive mills. The olives and olive oil are kept at a steady temperature lower than 30°C in order to preserve their vitamins and other important ingredients. This highly reputed oil is golden-green in color, and its very low acidity allows its natural aromatic characteristics to come to full expression.
