Native Olive Oil from Crete – 5 Liters for True Connoisseurs and Frequent Cooks.

For those who cook daily with good olive oil, for those who shop for an entire family, for those who simply don't want to reorder every month – the 5-liter canister is the right decision.
What makes this olive oil special
Our olive oil comes from the Greek island of Crete – one of the most aromatic olive regions in the world. Cold-pressed at a maximum of 27 °C, unfiltered and without any additives. All natural ingredients – polyphenols, vitamins, antioxidants – are fully preserved.
Fresh from the 2024/2025 harvest: fruity in aroma, slightly bitter on the finish, with the characteristic warmth of a true Cretan olive oil. The same taste as in the 0.75-liter canister – just with significantly more content and a better price.
Liter price comparison: Why the 5-liter canister is worth it
• 0.75 L canister: €18.65 per liter
• 3 L canister: €11.66 per liter
• 5 L canister: only €9.99 per liter
Those who regularly buy 3- or 5-liter canisters can save up to 27% compared to single purchases with our value packs (2×5 L, 4×5 L).
Who is the 5-liter canister the right choice for?
• Large families who cook daily and quickly go through olive oil
• Passionate home cooks who use olive oil at every stage of preparation
• Anyone who also pickles olives, marinates cheese, or regularly prepares meze
• Those who started with the 3-liter canister and now want to save with the next step
• Restaurateurs and caterers who need small quantities of high-quality oil for special dishes
What is this olive oil suitable for?
• Salads & Dressings – daily, straight from the canister
• Breakfast – bread, cheese, olives, fresh tomatoes
• Hot dishes – gentle frying, vegetables, legumes, stews
• Marinades & Pickling – for olives, cheese, grilled vegetables
• Meze & Dips – hummus, baba ghanoush, tzatziki, tahini dressings
For heavy frying or deep-frying, we recommend a refined oil – use cold-pressed olive oil at low temperatures.
In a robust 5-liter canister
The 5-liter canister is light-protected, airtight, and equipped with a practical spout. Unopened, it can be stored for up to 24 months. After opening, store in a cool, dark place – ideally transfer to a smaller container and keep the rest tightly sealed.

Once you've tried real olive oil from Crete, you won't buy any other.
Once you've tried real olive oil from Crete, you'll never buy another kind.
That's not an advertising slogan. That's what our customers keep telling us. Anyone who has experienced the difference between industrial olive oil and a cold-pressed oil directly from the producer – in the aroma, in the taste, in the finish – understands it immediately. Try it for yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "cold-pressed" mean for olive oil – and why is it important?
What does "cold-pressed" mean for olive oil – and why is it important?
"Cold-pressed" means that the olive oil is extracted from the olives at a maximum temperature of 27 °C. At higher temperatures - as is common in industrial processing - valuable ingredients are lost: polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins, and natural aromas are destroyed by heat. Our Elea Minon olive oil is cold-pressed at a maximum of 27 °C - unfiltered and without additives. What ends up in the canister is what the olive naturally provides.
Can you use olive oil for frying?
Can you use olive oil for frying?
Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is suitable for gentle sautéing up to about 160–180 °C – for steamed vegetables, eggs, fish, or briefly seared meat. For high-heat frying, deep-frying, or very high temperatures, we recommend a refined oil, as intense heat degrades the valuable ingredients and negatively impacts the aroma. Our olive oil is best showcased at breakfast, in salads, dips, and sauces – where it reveals its full flavor.
How to recognize good olive oil – and where do many products fall short?
How to recognize good olive oil – and where do many products fall short?
Good olive oil smells fresh and fruity – never rancid, musty, or pungent. Stiftung Warentest found in 2026 that 8 out of 25 tested olive oils of the highest quality class "native extra" (extra virgin) were rated "poor" – due to taste defects or contamination. Important purchasing criteria: current harvest indicated (e.g., 2024/2025), clear indication of origin (not just "EU"), light-protected packaging, and direct bottling by the producer. Our olive oil meets all these criteria – and comes directly from Crete, without intermediate storage or blended goods.
How do I store olive oil properly so it lasts longer?
How do I store olive oil properly so it lasts longer?
Olive oil has three enemies: light, heat, and air. Cool, dark, and well-sealed – these are the three most important rules. An ideal temperature is between 14 and 18 °C, away from the stove. Our light-protected canister already protects the oil from oxidation from the start. Unopened, our olive oil has a shelf life of 18–24 months. After opening, we recommend consuming it within 6–8 weeks. Tip: If you buy large quantities, decant a small container for daily use and keep the main canister sealed.
Which size should I order – 0.75 L, 3 L, or 5 L?
Which size should I order – 0.75 L, 3 L, or 5 L?
That depends on your consumption. 0.75 L is suitable for a first impression or for single households - fresh and quickly used up. 3 L is ideal for couples and small families who cook daily - lasts 2 to 4 months and is significantly cheaper than several small bottles (only €11.66/L). 5 L is our most economical choice for large households and anyone who uses olive oil generously - only €9.99 per litre. Tip: If you are unsure, start with 0.75 L and then order the 5-litre canister. Most customers do exactly that.
