Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the highest quality
THE PERFECT BALANCE: LOW ACIDITY AND HIGH POLYPHENOLS IN OUR OLIVE OIL
Our olive oil comes directly from our olive farmer, Tassos Spiridis, who, with his family, manages olive groves in sunny southeast Crete – a region known for its exceptional Koroneiki variety olives.
The olives are carefully harvested and cold-pressed into an extra virgin olive oil with low acidity and a high polyphenol content. Each harvest is tested in an independent laboratory, and the analysis results consistently confirm the excellent quality of the olive oil.
By purchasing our olive oil directly from the producer, we can guarantee fair prices. This way, we avoid the long, opaque supply chains that often characterize the olive oil industry. The result is a guaranteed high-quality, sustainable olive oil from Crete – directly from the source, at an attractive price. No oil blends, no trickery, just pure quality that we select ourselves.
SPIRIDI OLIVE OIL FARM – PURE CRETE IN EVERY DROP
In the southeast of the Greek island of Crete lie the olive groves of Tassos Spiridis. This is a region known for its exceptional Koroneiki variety olives. A small but powerful olive variety known for its intense aroma, high antioxidant content, and low acidity.
Within the family business, they have been working with respect for tradition and nature for generations. The Spiridis family produces a premium olive oil with a mild, fruity taste and excellent purity with great dedication and craftsmanship.
Our olives are pressed within a few hours. This preserves all natural nutrients, antioxidants, and aromas. The result is a premium olive oil with low acidity, rich in polyphenols, and an authentic taste that reflects the best of Crete.
Spiridi Extra Virgin Olive Oil – a harmonious combination of craftsmanship, nature, and health, directly from the heart of Crete.
THE POWER OF PURE OLIVE OIL
Our extra virgin olive oil from Crete is made exclusively from Koroneiki olives. Unlike many commercial olive oils, which are composed of blends from various European origins, with us you choose a single origin, a single olive variety, and a single pure taste. No oils with different acidity levels are mixed to reach the threshold of 0.3%. This magical threshold is the point from which olive oil can be called 'Extra Virgin'. Without knowing the origin of the oil and the production process, this claim has little value.
Well, not with us! Where supermarket oils are often diluted to meet EU minimum standards, our oil remains natural and undiluted. This way, you taste the authentic flavor of Crete – pure, honest, and authentic harvest after harvest.
LAB-TESTED QUALITY
Our olive farmer produces his olive oil exclusively from his own Koroneiki olives. After each harvest, the oil is thoroughly tested in an independent laboratory, where, among other things, the acidity, K-value, and peroxide value are checked.
Based on these analyses, we select the best oil every year, and year after year, the superior quality of our olive oil is confirmed. Those who want to be sure of real extra virgin olive oil choose a laboratory-tested product with transparent origin and proven quality – like ours:
- 🌿 Acidity: only 0.27%
- 🌿 Polyphenol content: 367 mg/kg (HPLC)
What does low acidity (0.27%) mean?
The acidity of olive oil is an important quality indicator. The lower the acidity, the purer and fresher the oil. With a value of 0.27%, our olive oil belongs to the absolute top class of extra virgin olive oils. Low acidity means:
- 🌿 Olives that were pressed quickly after harvest.
- 🌿 A mild, balanced taste without a bitter aftertaste.
- 🌿 Maximum freshness and a long shelf life.
- 🌿 No contamination by olive flies.
Why are polyphenols (367 HPLC) so important?
Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that give olive oil its characteristic taste, healthy properties, and protective effect. With a polyphenol content of 367 mg/kg (HPLC method), our olive oil contains a particularly high concentration of these valuable substances. This ensures:
- 🌿 Powerful antioxidants that help fight free radicals.
- 🌿 Support for heart and blood vessels.
- 🌿 An intense aroma with fruity and slightly peppery notes.
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION
100% protective packaging.
To preserve quality, our olive oil is packed in durable metal tins that block 100% of harmful UV light! This ensures that taste, smell, and nutrients are optimally protected.
Preferably use an opened package within 3 to 4 months, so that the oil retains its full, fruity character and its quality does not diminish due to oxidation.
You should pay for the olive oil, not the packaging.
With an emphasis on quality, we invest in laboratory tests. Because an oil must also remain affordable, we have chosen not to create fancy packaging that would only drive up the price.
Storage.
We offer 3-liter packages and recommend storing the olive oil in a cool place, especially after opening, and distributing it into smaller bottles yourself so that every household has the perfect amount of extra virgin olive oil available – whether you cook daily, bake, or prepare a healthy salad. This way, you keep the bulk of the olive oil cool and protected from external influences.
