Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml Glass bottle - Lyktos - Crete

Discover the authentic taste of Crete with Lyktos Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a family-produced Greek olive oil from Lyttos, Crete, an area with a long tradition of olive cultivation.

Produced by the Apostolakis family, Lyktos reflects the close connection between Cretan families, their land and the olive tree. The olive oil is made from the renowned Koroneiki olive variety, Greece's celebrated olive variety prized for producing aromatic, characterful extra virgin olive oils.

From the Olive Groves of Lyttos, Crete

Lyttos lies in the heart of Crete's Heraklion region, surrounded by a landscape where olive cultivation has been part of local life for generations.

The olives used for Lyktos are harvested from the area's groves and processed with particular attention to preserving the natural qualities of the fruit. The olives are cold extracted on the same day as harvesting, helping retain the olive oil's fresh character, fruity aromas and distinctive taste.

The Character of Koroneiki

Koroneiki olives may be small, but they are internationally appreciated for the quality of olive oil they can produce.

Lyktos Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a fruity aroma and authentic Mediterranean character, making it equally suitable for finishing dishes and for everyday cooking.

Enjoy it with:

• Fresh salads and vegetables
• Bread, bruschetta and traditional Greek rusks
• Grilled fish and seafood
• Pasta and Mediterranean dishes
• Legumes and soups
• Grilled or roasted vegetables
• Meat and poultry
• Cheese and traditional Greek meze
• Or simply raw with fresh bread
