Viannos Irakliou Kritis

This extra virgin olive oil is the finest oil produced in the Viannos region of the island of Crete. This mountainous region is perfectly suited for cultivating olive trees due to its ideal climate and its very fertile soil, which is enriched with deposits from rivers and streams that end here.

The oil is made from the Koroneiki olive variety, which is harvested around December when the olives begin to ripen. The best olives are hand picked and cleaned to be transferred to the oil mill for extraction within 24 hours of picking. They are processed using traditional crushing or centrifugation to preserve the oil's low acidity and its organoleptic qualities.

When pouring Viannos olive oil, it is impossible not to notice its beautiful deep golden color. The taste of this oil is also very distinctive, rich, and fruity with an interesting peppery note. It makes a great addition to any dish, and its unique flavor will never disappoint regardless if it is served with cheeses, tomatoes, eaten with warm bread, or blended in salads.
