Overview
Drizzling Terra Creta Koroneiki Grand Cru over burrata, carpaccio or warm bread shows off a single-estate Cretan olive oil pressed only from Koroneiki olives. The fruit is cold-extracted at low temperature to protect aroma, giving mild green fruitiness and a gentle peppery finish.
Single variety, single estate and full traceability give it a clear identity as a tasting oil. Its mild profile suits raw dishes, so cooks wanting a bold, bitter oil should look elsewhere.
Who it's for
Food lovers who taste olive oil on its own or drizzle it over fresh dishes get a traceable Cretan single-variety bottle. Households that cook mostly with high heat will not notice its delicate notes.

Performance notes
Low-temperature extraction preserves the volatile aromas and polyphenols behind the green fruit and peppery finish. Picking time, set by ripeness tests, balances aroma against yield. Delicate notes come through most clearly when the oil is used raw.
