Mourello Olive Oil

Welcome to our family business, proudly rooted in the picturesque village of Kritsa, Lasithi, Crete, since 2013. For over a decade, we’ve been dedicated to the art of olive oil production, specializing in the wholesale trade of our premium olive oil. Our state-of-the-art packaging facility, nestled in the heart of Kritsa, ensures that every bottle we produce captures the essence of our rich heritage and commitment to quality.

We are honored to supply some of the finest luxury hotels, restaurants, and taverns across Lasithi and the rest of Crete, where our olive oil enhances the culinary experience of discerning guests. Our commitment to excellence has earned us numerous accolades in both international and domestic competitions, highlighting the superior quality of our products.

In 2016, we were especially proud to receive the “Business Excellence Award” from the Lasithi Chamber of Commerce for our innovative creation—the first olive oil infused with edible 24K gold in Crete. This unique product embodies our dedication to blending tradition with innovation.

In recent years, our olive oil has traveled far beyond Crete, reaching customers worldwide. As of 2024, we are excited to introduce a new venture: the “Olive Oil Tasting Experience.” This immersive experience invites you to explore and savor the distinct flavors of four different premium olive oils, each one telling a story of the land, the olive trees, and the passion behind our craft.

We invite you to embark on a unique and unforgettable journey into the heart of Crete, where the world of olive oil comes to life. Nestled in the charming village of Kritsa, our family-run business offers an exclusive experience that promises to engage all your senses and deepen your appreciation for this ancient, golden treasure.

Your visit begins with a warm welcome into our beautifully designed space.

Depending on your interest and curiosity, we may delve deeper into the fascinating process, revealing secrets of irrigation, harvesting, and the intricate workings of the olive mill. You’ll also discover how olive oil is categorized—extra virgin, virgin, and more—along with insights into the perfect storage conditions and our meticulous packaging methods that preserve the oil’s exquisite quality.

Next, prepare your taste buds for a sensory delight. We’ll guide you through an olive oil tasting session where four different quality samples await your exploration. Each sample has its own story, flavor, and character, and together, we’ll savor and discuss the nuances that make each one special. To enhance your experience, we’ll serve a selection of traditional Cretan delicacies, all beautifully paired with our premium olive oil and aromatic Cretan thyme honey.

But the experience doesn’t end there. We’ll then take you on a short tour of our family’s olive oil packaging facility, where you’ll witness the final steps that transform olives into the liquid gold you’ve just tasted. This behind-the-scenes look offers a full-circle view of the passion and precision that go into every bottle.

Our mission is to provide you with more than just knowledge—we want you to leave with a true connection to the world of olive oil. By the end of your visit, you’ll have gained not only an understanding of the production process but also the ability to distinguish between high-quality and flawed olive oils.
