Savou

Savou is more than an extra virgin olive oil. It is a pure expression of Crete’s landscape, culture, and centuries-old olive-growing heritage. Named after the Savouidakis family, Savou reflects the character, authenticity, and values of the people behind it. Every bottle embodies generations of expertise, a passion for olive oil production, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Crafted exclusively from carefully selected Koroneiki olives, one of the world’s most celebrated olive varieties, Savou captures the true essence of Cretan olive oil. From cultivation and harvesting to extraction and bottling, every stage of production takes place in Crete, ensuring complete traceability, transparency, and quality control.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Savou EVOO is the premium expression of the Savou range, created for consumers who appreciate exceptional quality, authentic flavor, and high nutritional value. Harvested at optimal ripeness and immediately cold extracted, the olives retain their natural aromas, antioxidants, and valuable polyphenols.

With an acidity of up to 0.3%, Savou EVOO offers remarkable freshness and complexity. Its sensory profile features vibrant green aromas, notes of banana, mint, fresh vegetables, and buttery undertones, complemented by a refined bitterness and a lively peppery finish that reflects its high phenolic content. Balanced and elegant, it is ideal for Mediterranean salads, grilled fish, seafood, vegetables, gourmet dishes, and any recipe where olive oil takes center stage.

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Savou BIO represents the organic philosophy of the brand and is produced according to strict organic farming standards. Certified under European organic regulations, it combines purity, sustainability, and exceptional quality in every bottle.

Produced from carefully selected organic Koroneiki olives and extracted exclusively through cold extraction, Savou BIO preserves the natural characteristics of the fruit while delivering a rich aromatic profile and balanced flavor. It is the perfect choice for consumers seeking a certified organic olive oil that offers both authenticity and premium quality without compromise.

From Olive Grove to Bottle

The quality of Savou begins in the olive grove. The olives are harvested at the ideal stage of ripeness to maximize both flavor and nutritional value. Immediately after harvesting, they are transported for cold extraction, a process that helps preserve antioxidants, polyphenols, and delicate aromatic compounds.

Cultivation, extraction, and bottling all take place in Crete, ensuring full traceability and complete control over every stage of production. This commitment guarantees consistency, freshness, and exceptional quality in every bottle.

Flavor Profile & Culinary Uses

Savou’s freshness, balance, and aromatic complexity make it exceptionally versatile in the kitchen. It enhances Mediterranean salads, grilled fish, seafood, white meats, legumes, and slow-cooked vegetables, while also serving as the perfect finishing touch for soups, gourmet creations, and contemporary culinary dishes.

Its rich aroma and balanced structure pair beautifully with artisan bread, fine cheeses, and Mediterranean appetizers. Thanks to its consistent quality and refined character, Savou is equally appreciated by home cooks, chefs, restaurants, hotels, caterers, and foodservice professionals.

What Makes Savou Unique?

Savou is defined by a combination of exceptional raw materials, traditional expertise, and modern production standards. The renowned Koroneiki variety, naturally low acidity, exclusive cold extraction process, and rigorous quality controls ensure a premium olive oil with outstanding flavor and nutritional value.

Discover the Essence of Crete Through Savou

Savou is more than an olive oil—it is a pure expression of Crete’s landscape, culture, and agricultural heritage. Crafted from hand-selected Koroneiki olives, the variety historically celebrated for producing Greece’s finest olive oil, Savou blends traditional know-how with modern, certified production standards. Each bottle reflects decades of family expertise and an unbroken commitment to authenticity.

A Signature Profile for Discerning Palates

What sets Savou apart is its naturally complex sensory character. Olive oil enthusiasts will appreciate its layered structure: vibrant green aromas, refined bitterness, and a lively peppery finish that signals high phenolic content. Whether you choose the classic Savou EVO or the certified organic Savou BIO, every option offers a unique balance designed to elevate both home cooking and professional gastronomy.

From Olive Grove to Bottle: A Fully Traceable Journey

Every stage of the Savou production process takes place in Crete—from cultivation to milling and bottling—ensuring full transparency and traceability. The olives are harvested at optimal ripeness and immediately processed through cold extraction to preserve their nutritional integrity. This method safeguards antioxidants, polyphenols, and flavor compounds, resulting in an olive oil that is both health-forward and gastronomically refined.

Culinary Inspiration & Professional Use

Savou complements a broad range of dishes thanks to its versatile profile. Its freshness and aromatic depth make it ideal for:

  • Dressing vibrant Mediterranean salads
  • Enhancing grilled fish, lean meats, or shellfish
  • Finishing soups, legumes, and slow-cooked vegetables
  • Pairing with artisanal bread, soft cheeses, and gourmet appetizers

Savou fits seamlessly into professional kitchens, restaurants, and B2B workflows, while also being perfect for everyday home cooking. Chefs, caterers, and culinary professionals value its consistency, balance, and ready-to-use versatility.

Why Savou Stands Out

  • Koroneiki Excellence: One of the most prized olive varieties in the world
  • Low-Acidity Guarantee: Each batch undergoes strict testing to ensure exceptional quality
  • Cold Extraction Only: Preserves the oil’s natural antioxidants
  • Sustainable Practices: Respect for the land and responsible cultivation define every step
  • Organic Certification (Savou BIO): EU & USDA standards for purity and environmental care

Savou represents a philosophy deeply connected to the island’s natural rhythm—one that honors heritage while embracing clean, sustainable production.

A Family Legacy Built on Craftsmanship

For the Savouidakis family, olive oil is not simply a product but a generational craft. Their dedication to excellence, transparency, and respect for tradition is reflected in every bottle. Savou carries this legacy forward, offering consumers worldwide a genuine taste of Crete—rich, aromatic, and unmistakably Greek.
