ARIA Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 3L Tin (Cold-Pressed, Greek, 100% Koroneiki, Kosher)

Aria Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 3L Tin

"From the Sunlit Groves of Crete, Now in a Tin Built for Legends (and Savings)."

Yes, it’s a tin. Yes, it might dent. And no, it doesn’t matter—because what’s inside is pristine, protected, and wildly underpriced for what you’re getting.

You’re buying in bulk here. That means more oil, fewer purchases, and a far better deal than those precious little bottles that vanish after two salads. Plus, tins block light entirely—unlike clear or even tinted glass—keeping your oil fresh, potent, and delicious longer. It’s a win for your wallet, your pantry, and your palate.

This is Aria: 100% Koroneiki, medium intensity, and estate-grown in the salt-swept hills of Western Crete. It’s the oil chefs hoard, foodies revere, and dinner guests casually ask about like it’s no big deal.

🛠 Processing Notes

Produced by Kreta Food, this oil is cold-pressed within hours of harvest. No blending, no cutting corners—just single-origin olives, treated with care from grove to tin. The legacy of Emmanuel Daskalakis, whose family groves in Crete birthed this oil, shines through in every pour.

👃 Tasting Notes & Aromas

• Aromas: Crisp apple. Fresh-cut grass. Crete on a sunny day.

• Tasting Notes: Smooth herbaceous body, gentle fruit, and a satisfying peppery kick. Balanced like a Greek statue—strong, grounded, graceful.

🍴 How to Use It Without Dulling Its Glory

• Leafy Green Salads: Especially bitter ones—this oil tames like a charm.

• White Meat: Chicken, turkey, pork—give them a reason to exist.

• Roasted Veggies: Bell peppers, squash, eggplant. Finish with a drizzle and a nod.

• Fish (Broiled or Fried): Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.

• Boiled Greens: Think less “bland side dish,” more “Mediterranean ritual.”

📜 The Lore (Because This Oil Has a Soul)

Aria isn’t some trend-chasing upstart. It’s the real deal—a generational craft oil rooted in Crete’s sunbaked soil and coastal air. The Daskalakis family didn’t invent olive oil, they just perfected their version of it. This tin holds that legacy: clean, rich, ancestral.

⚠️ About the Tin (Read Before DMing Us About Dents)

We pack tins like they’re fragile relics from an ancient temple. But olive oil expands and contracts with heat. Sometimes the tin bends a little. Sometimes the world keeps turning. Dents are cosmetic and have zero impact on quality. Light can’t get in. Air can’t get in. This tin is basically armor.

💸 Final Thought: Buy Smart, Buy Big

This is the grown-up move. Three liters of elite olive oil at a price that makes those boutique bottles look like a scam. Store it properly, use it lavishly, and cook like someone who knows value when they taste it.

Or keep overpaying for pretty glass. Your call.
