Sensory Quality 
The first thing to notice is the sensory richness. OLI DEKA, our Cretan extra virgin olive oil, is characterized by its fruity taste, evoking fresh ripe fruit aromas, with hints of fresh grass, tomato, and green almond.

Delicate Bitterness
A slight bitterness is a sign of quality, indicating the presence of natural antioxidants in the olives. This gustatory complexity gives the oil a deeper and more refined taste.

Balanced Spiciness
The experience is completed by a mild pungency, due to polyphenols, which balance the flavors while adding a unique vibrancy.
