Organic Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil (3L Tin) – Messara PDO Koroneiki

OLEUM CRETE Organic Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Crete

Harvest 2026

If you get through a fair bit of olive oil at home, the 3-litre tin is a sensible one to have in the cupboard. This is OLEUM CRETE organic extra virgin olive oil, made from early-harvest Koroneiki olives grown in the Messara valley in southern Crete.

It has the fresh, fruity character you’d expect from a good Cretan olive oil, with green herbal notes, a gentle bitterness and a peppery finish. It has plenty of flavour, but it’s still easy to use every day.

Use it for cooking, pour it over a salad, dip some good bread into it or finish off a dish with a drizzle. If you use olive oil regularly, having 3 litres to hand means you’re unlikely to find yourself reaching for the last few drops.

Organic Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Crete

OLEUM CRETE is made in the Messara valley in southern Crete, using Koroneiki olives, a traditional Greek variety that is particularly well suited to the Cretan climate.

The olives are picked early in the harvest and the oil is cold-extracted. That gives it a fresh, lively flavour, with fruit and green herbal notes followed by a pleasant bitterness and a peppery finish.

We think it’s the sort of olive oil that earns its place in the kitchen. You can cook with it, dress a salad with it or simply pour some into a little dish and have it with bread. The 3-litre tin is particularly useful if olive oil is something you use most days.

Messara PDO Olive Oil from Crete

The Messara valley is in southern Crete and has a long tradition of growing olives. Olive farming has been part of life in the area for generations.

This oil carries the Messara PDO designation, which identifies its protected regional origin. For us, that matters because where an olive oil comes from tells you quite a lot about the character of the oil itself.

If you’re looking specifically for an olive oil from Crete, this is a good example of one from the Messara area.

Made from Early-Harvest Koroneiki Olives

The olives used here are Koroneiki, a traditional Greek variety widely grown in Crete. They’re picked early in the season, when they have plenty of the fresh green character that comes through in the finished oil.

It’s that combination of fruit, herbs and pepper that gives Koroneiki oil its recognisable character.

Flavour Profile

Fruity aroma → green herbal notes → gentle bitterness → peppery finish

It’s a fairly lively olive oil, so you can certainly taste it when you use it as a dressing or finish a dish with it. At the same time, it’s not so strong that you need to save it for special occasions.

How to Use Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • For your daily cooking needs
  • Dress Greek and Mediterranean salads
  • Drizzle over feta, hummus, or roast vegetables
  • Perfect for roasting potatoes or vegetables
  • Makes a classic bread dip with a pinch of sea salt
  • Try it in marinades for fish or halloumi
  • Finish Cretan dishes like dakos or a lentil salad

We like it with simple food where you can actually taste the olive oil - tomatoes, feta, warm bread, roast potatoes or a good Greek salad.
