A Luxury way of living
At Oleum Crete, our mission is to share the purest expression of nature’s gift — extra virgin olive oil — crafted with care, tradition, and soul. From our organic groves in Crete, we handpick each olive and cold-press it within hours to preserve its vibrant flavor and life-giving nutrients. Certified organic and PGI-protected, every bottle reflects our deep respect for the land, our ancestors, and the timeless beauty of simplicity. More than an ingredient, our oil is a symbol of wellness, connection, and the quiet luxury of living well.
