Kritsa olive oil. Its every drop reveals the unique care with which it has been produced for over a century.Its story began in 1927, when a group of passionate olive growers in Kritsa set out to give the world a superior olive oil, with a peppery flavour and very low acidity.
In an unbroken tradition, we firmly honour our commitment that every drop of cold extracted oil that comes from our mill will unfailingly be better than before.
Our unique Koroneiki cultivar is our only care all year round. The fruit is picked as soon as it fully matures, and within a few hours its “juice” is ready to embark on a journey around the world.
Our exquisite olive oil has been honorably mentioned and has received prizes in many competitions. To us, however, its bearing the name of its birthplace is the greatest honour of all.
The Agricultural Cooperative of Kritsa was established in 1927. Its olive oil factory opened in 1937. Today, the coop has over 892 members who are particularly experienced in and concerned with the quality of their produce and product.
