Terra Creta PDO Extra Virgin Greek Olive Oil -(1L, 3L, 5L) -14 Taste Awards Winner (3 Litre)

When I first used it, I was a little disappointed in the lightness of the colour as I was expecting a darker hue? However, once I tasted it, I was, and am, extremely happy with my purchase!! The flavour is exceptional and it has been used for cooking, dressing and for dips and sauces! A wonderful product with all the subtlety of flavours you’d expect from a quality olive oil!! Highly recommended!!

I first bought this beautiful olive oil during a holiday to Crete where I visited the olive groves and factory where it is produced. After finishing that one, I was really happy to find it here on Amazon. It has a lovely earthy, nutty flavour and I cannot recommend it enough.

Can't go wrong with Terra Creta. Can't recommend their products enough. I've used them for years now and even visited the mill in Kolymbari. Excellent taste and guaranteed quality.

Excellent value Great flavour, slightly peppery and without the bitterness of some more expensive supermarket brands I use it for everything Dressing frying or on its own with bread and maybe a bit of balsamic Don't be put off by the 3/5 litre tin you will get through it quickly

Great oil, however, the way how you pour the oil is just really messy - had to google how to open it up. Apart from that, I am very happy with the purchase - love the oil on salads and with fresh bread.

Only just received this oil, but it's a lovely taste, I've noticed a lot of comments about the pouring spout,, but if you pull the 2 green finger pulls up before you unscrew the cap,, it pulls up the spout then you can unscrew it wich leaves a nice pouring spout,,,

Old fashion tasting olive oil, like someone else said I remember the taste from Greek holidays as a youngster, very pure and original, but that lid is ridiculous they have to design a new top and pouring system.

Great flavour and peppery after taste. Almost as good as anything from Italy but at a third of the price!

In some ways, I really am spoiled. I realize that as a former educator, living on a former educator's salary, this statement might seem odd. However, I'm absolutely serious and this olive oil helps to prove my point. Enter Terra Creta Olive Oil. As we all know, olive oil was a gift to the Greeks, courtesy of the goddess Athena. It is olive oil that largely built the ancient Greek economy and thus promulgated Greek culture through the ancient world by means of economic exchange. That exchange was fostered by the highly prized olive oil that was acknowledged as the world's best. To this day, Greece is fiercely protective of the reputation of its olive oil--and rightly so. In its pure, unadulterated form, it is a glorious addition to your kitchen's staples, adding flavor, polish and nutrition to a wide array of dishes. Unfortunately, if you don't live in Greece--or in the EU--your olive oil is probably NOT unadulterated in some form. In the EU, Greek olive oil is protected by strict labeling and production laws so that the consumer can be assured of getting an authentic product, and thus an authentic experience. Here in the States, there are no such nation-wide laws, so the olive oil we get--even the extra virgin--is adulterated by other oils, or at least a pastiche of different regions, producers, etc., who are committed to driving down costs more than they are to producing excellent oils. The Terra Creta is an emphatic disavowal of this practice. It is an estate-produced oil created under exacting, heavily monitored conditions, with each can getting a unique label (see picture above), which functions as a birth certificate, more or less, so that you can practically trace the moment it was harvested. All of this effort reaps rewards for the consumer. This oil is a revelation compared to the pathetic stuff that you get at the average supermarket. It's vivid, earthy and fills the mouth with subtle notes that lean more towards the fruity end (at least in my experience; some have said it comes across as a bit more on the peppery side). In any case, it is truly excellent for dipping bread, making salad, making garlic butter, or anything that requires a moderate base note and delicate upper notes of olive flavor. As for the cost, you look at the price of the tin and think, "wow, that's a bit excessive." You'd be wrong. Look at how much you get and then figure a per-ounce cost vs. the "extra virgin" you get at the supermarket. Then, think about how what you eat becomes a part of you. Then, think about how short life is and how we should seize those beautiful pleasures that are within our reach while we can. Does it seem expensive now?

The Terra Creta Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from Greek olives, from the Greek Island Crete- It is Real Greek Olive Oil

I bought this Terra Creta extra virgin olive oil ( one L ) on 28/5, and was delivered on 29/5/23. I was disappointed to find out that the product is near expiry date : 28/9/23 and the olive oil does not taste fresh. Seller please comment.

Bardzo dobra oliwa. W rozmiarze takim, że starczy na dłużej nawet dla rodziny intensywnie używającej oliwy.

Sehr lecker, Nicht herb, dennoch vollmundig. Ich liebe dieses Olivenöl!
