Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The 2025 olive harvest has begun in the steep hills of the Sitia UNESCO Geopark in Crete. Each evening we bring our hand-picked olives to a certified organic mill, cold-press them within hours, and see an impressive acidity of just 0.3%. Follow our journey as we prepare Sopato’s new Sitia Lasithi PDO organic olive oil, pure, fresh, and directly from the farmer to your table.
