Elea CretaExtra Virgin Greek Olive Oil 5lt Tin can

Love this olive oil. 3L tin easier to pour than the 5l

Bought this as my regular olive oil was ok but wanted to try something else. I bought a 3L tin to try and am not disappointed. It is exactly as everyone else describes - mild/mellow but a slight tickle/peppery after taste but not strong enough that it can't be used in pretty much any dish.

I had become fed up of buying second rate olive oil in small bottles from supermarkets and so decided to buy a large container from Amazon to see if it was any better.This arrived slightly dented, the packaging could be improved, but it didn't cause any problem when it came to opening and decanting the olive oil.I must say, the flavor is a huge step up from what I'd been buying previously, with a delicious toasty edge to it.Its fantastic for salad dressings and pasta dishes, and its one of those oils which you just want to dip a piece of focaccia in and devour.The fact that the price matches the inferior supermarket oils makes it a no-brainer for me, I highly recommend it.I hope you find my review helpful.

For me and my family removing butter/veg oil/margarine from our diet has been life-changing. Now we use extra virgin olive oil (evoo) instead in all our cooking. Foods made with evoo taste the same - except for one difference – they are less greasy. We make toast, fried eggs, salads, soup, parathas, and curries etc with evoo. We even deep fry fish & chips and samosas in it and they taste amazing! I can truly say the chips are the best I have ever eaten.Please for the sake of your health start using good quality evoo. I take a tablespoon full every morning with a squeeze of lemon. Evoo is expensive, but your well-being is priceless.

I’m on my second 3 litre tin of this. The quality is excellent; it’s delicious EVOO.Delivery was quick and item arrived in perfect condition. Thank you.

used it before- good oil

Excellent fresh, green, slightly spicy flavour, not at all heavy. A very pleasant light oil. Perfect for everything including dipping and salads. I use my olive oil to make bread and for all my cooking needs. This is perfect as the flavour is not overpowering. Very happy with my purchase.I decanted into old glass bottles (oil should always be stored in dark glass or tin) the spout pulls up, which makes this much easier, some may not be aware of this after reading previous reviews.As others have mentioned the container was a little bashed. Some protection against this would be useful, but it will force costs up and you’d probably end up with much the same effect knowing our couriers. A better courier could also minimise this, but again would force costs up.

Very good tasty oil for price. Good for salads and dipping in bread. Will buy again.
