SKOUTARI EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SKOUTARI EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Skoutari Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil – 500ml
Award-Winning, Organic, and Rich in Polyphenols
In the 17th-century Cretan epic Erotokritos, the word “skoutari” refers to a shield — a symbol of strength and protection. Inspired by this legacy, Skoutari Olive Oil is your everyday shield of wellness, crafted to protect and nourish through the power of pure, organic extra virgin olive oil.
🌿 From the Vardas Family Groves in Crete
Skoutari is made from Koroneiki olives, hand-harvested from the Vardas family’s own groves on the fertile island of Crete. Grown in rich soil under the Mediterranean sun, these olives are cold-pressed in small batches to produce an oil of exceptional purity, balance, and flavour.
This oil is:
Certified Organic
High in polyphenols (with a certified EU health claim on its label)
Cold-pressed and unfiltered
Free from chemicals or additives
🏆 Globally Acclaimed
Skoutari proudly earned a Gold Award at the 2021 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition and is listed in the Official Index of the World’s Best Olive Oils — a testament to its unmatched quality.

Let’s talk about the packaging. It comes in an exquisite ceramic pot. The LADOLEA handmade ceramic pot is inspired by the rich history of the Corinthian region in Greece, home to an ancient pot dated to 700BC, called the Aryballos. This pot was well known for its use by Olympic athletes to cover their bodies in olive oil before the games and by the aristocracy of the era, for preserving their valuable essential oils and aromas. The opaque surface prevents light penetration, thus maintaining the olive oil in its purest form and preserving the precious LADOLEA aroma and taste. Each reusable ceramic pot is accompanied with a cork-pourer so that it can be refilled with the recyclable LADOLEA in tin cans.
