Rare Cretan oil, the best of Greece. Single-variety organic oil comprised of handpicked Koroneiki olives from one of the few family-owned estates in Crete. Stone-milled, cold pressed and unfiltered, the resulting oil is lighter than its Greek cousins, characterized by a unique fruitiness, notes of tomato, nuts and wild herbs and with a pleasant spicy finish. The processes of stone milling and cold pressing preserve the vitamins, nutrients and aromatic properties of the oil. This labor-intensive method results in a distinctive olive oil of superb quality.
Harvest: Fall, 2024

I actually bought a bottle of Biolea Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil after a very comprehensive tour of their facility on Crete, Greece in September. However, I had the bottle in the carry on luggage and it was confiscated at the Athens Airport. I was just sick about it, as I carried it around for 3 weeks on our trip to several islands. This was the most affordable I could find in the states (though I paid a lot more than the 7 euro onsite. Anyway, I am happy to have it now and to be able to share with friends and family!
I was on the tour of the Biolea olive oil family farm in Crete in April. It was absolutely amazing and extremely informative and educational not to mention stunning! Now I’m desperate to find the Lemon Biolea extra-virgin olive oil, which is unbelievable!!
