Elea Creta Greek Organic Bio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml glass bottle

Elea Creta Greek Organic Bio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an oil which is of high quality. It tastes fresh and 'clean' on salads or breads etc. I like the fact that it is organic (bio) and recommend it for quality, taste and value.

I have used many "olive oils" over the years - this is by far the best. As well as the common usages, i use in in my cake recipe - with excellent results. This oil in particular imparts a lovely flavour and a superior consistency. Many cake recipes call for sunflower oil. However there are questions concerning the wisdom of using sunflower products due to the degradation at high temperatures and a tendency to morph into trans-fats when re-heated. Also the omega 6 content of sunflower oil is much higher. According to current opinion the modern diet is too heavily weighted with omega 6. Olive oil may not be high in omega 3 but a good balance of the omega's can easily be obtained by a sensible diet.Back to the product in question.I can sum up with one word.Wonderful!David

Yes, we have that "but" again, the oil is good, the only thing that lets this down is I bought it for frying tuna steaks, but sadly, this is unable to reach high temperatures so that the steaks cooks properly.There's nothing wrong with the product, I guess this would be used more for flavouring dishes, rather than cooking with it.The product came well protected and tightly sealed, I think many will like this product for adding flavour to their food, it's just that I wanted to fry at high temperatures, but found this couldn't sadly reach it for me.Thank you seller.

This is a lovely oil with a subtle (not heavy) taste. It brings back memories of wonderful Greek food on many holidays on the Islands especially Crete.If you are wanting a good Olive Oil for both cooking and using on food, I can recommend this product.The packaging was good and the item arrived in perfect condition, value for money excellent as it is a big bottle.

This is my first experience with Greek olive oil and I'm an immediate convert! It is lighter, and less bitter than most olive oil yet still interesting with a slight fruitiness. The peppery kick is less powerful but thankfully still present. It's a cliché, but 'you can taste the quality' is nonetheless true in this instance. Thanks Greece!

Good quality olive oil!

Always purchase Cretan olive oil since a trip to Crete a few years ago. This is good quality and full over flavour, great on a salad or just dipping with fresh crusty bread.

I bought this bottle to taste the olive oil. I like it, it is strong but not too strong, can be used for cooking and for dressing. I am going to buy the 5L tin that offers better value for money.
