In the masterful 17th-century Cretan romance “Erotokritos”, “skoutari” is the shield that protects the besotted youth when he fights for his beloved Aretousa. Skoutari olive oil is the shield that protects your health.
Experience the legacy of Chondrolia of Crete, the oldest and most distinguished olive tree variety from this historic island. Once a staple in Cretan agriculture, Chondrolia is now in decline, as many of these trees have been repurposed as firewood. Skoutari are passionate about preserving and celebrating this ancient variety, which is why we have meticulously produced their unique purple bottle of Chondrolia olive oil.
Their Chondrolia olive oil is a testament to tradition and craftsmanship. With a medium intensity, it unfolds a captivating bouquet of flavours, including hints of banana, nuts, tropical fruits, and aromatic herbs. Each bottle encapsulates the rich, nuanced essence of a variety that has been cherished for centuries.
This exceptional olive oil enhances a wide array of dishes. It complements seafood and grilled fish with its delicate complexity, pairs perfectly with soft white cheeses, and adds a sophisticated touch to sweet, boiled greens, roasted vegetables, and fresh green salads. Indulge in the extraordinary flavour of Chondrolia and connect with the timeless essence of Crete's oldest olive variety.
