In the heart of eastern Crete, where ancient olive groves stretch across the hills overlooking Mirabello Bay, lies the historic village of Kritsa. Here, surrounded by breathtaking Mediterranean landscapes and centuries of olive-growing tradition, the story of Kritsa Coop begins.
Since 1927, generations of local olive growers have joined forces, united by a shared passion for their land and a commitment to producing exceptional olive oil. What began as a small agricultural cooperative has grown into a remarkable legacy, preserving the authentic character of Cretan olive oil for nearly a century.
Our olive groves thrive under the Mediterranean sun, where the unique climate and soil create ideal conditions for cultivating Koroneiki olives. Each harvest reflects generations of knowledge, dedication and respect for nature.
Carefully collected at their ideal ripeness, our olives are brought to our modern olive mill, where cold extraction preserves their natural aromas, rich flavour and valuable nutritional properties.
The result is Kritsa Coop: a premium extra virgin olive oil with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), distinguished by its exceptional quality and authentic Cretan origin. Our commitment to excellence has earned international recognition, including the prestigious Mario Solinas Quality Award.
Yet, beyond the awards, Kritsa Coop is a community built on trust, shared values and a deep connection to the land. Every bottle represents the collective dedication of our growers and a tradition passed down through generations.
From the olive groves of Kritsa to tables around the world, every drop carries the spirit of Crete, the authenticity of our heritage and our enduring passion for excellence.

Kritsa Coop. Rooted in Crete. United by tradition. Crafted with passion.
