Skoutari organic extra virgin olive oil | 500 ml

Description

Organic extra virgin olive oil shaped by the Cretan landscape

Skoutari organic extra virgin olive oil is produced exclusively from the Koroneiki variety, cultivated in eastern Crete. The olive groves extend between Kritsa and Kavousi, across more than 24 hectares managed by the same family. Thanks to altitude, arid conditions, and mineral-rich soils, the olive trees thrive naturally. Consequently, the olives deliver an intense, well-structured flavor with remarkable balance.

Naturally high polyphenol levels from early harvest

Harvesting begins very early in the season, when olives reach peak antioxidant concentration. Cold extraction follows within hours, always below 27 °C. This careful process preserves a high polyphenol content while maintaining low acidity. As a result, the oil fully retains its nutritional and sensory qualities.

Proven daily benefits supported by science

Multiple clinical studies show that regular consumption of organic extra virgin olive oil rich in polyphenols contributes to overall health. In particular, it helps protect blood lipids from oxidative stress and supports balanced cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Moreover, it naturally strengthens the body’s defense mechanisms as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Family expertise with certified quality

Since 2000, the family has cultivated its olive groves using organic practices rooted in tradition. At the same time, they collaborate with academic laboratories to monitor quality through regular analyses. Thanks to this rigorous approach, Skoutari olive oil meets the requirements of EU Regulation No. 432/2012 for an authorized health claim. It has also been distinguished by several international awards.

A design-forward bottle for a distinctive olive oil

The matte orange bottle, awarded the Red Dot design prize, blends contemporary aesthetics with Mediterranean heritage. It reflects both the quality of the oil and the brand’s strong visual identity. Thanks to its refined presentation, this olive oil also makes an elegant gourmet gift.
