Castellia Olive Oil is a small-scale olive oil producer based in the Heraklion region of Crete, operating within a family-run model rooted in local olive-growing traditions. The brand focuses on the production of extra virgin olive oil, primarily using local varieties such as Koroneiki, which is well adapted to the island’s conditions and known for its consistent quality and defined aromatic profile.

Production combines traditional cultivation practices with controlled processing techniques to maintain both authenticity and product stability. The oil is obtained through mechanical extraction, with careful handling of the olives to preserve freshness and minimize oxidation. This approach results in oils with low acidity and a clean, structured profile typical of high-quality extra virgin olive oils.

In sensory terms, Castellia olive oil generally shows pronounced fruitiness, accompanied by green and herbal notes, along with balanced bitterness and a moderate pungency. These characteristics reflect both the variety used and the specific terroir of the Heraklion area.
