LOCATION & HERITAGE
Our facility, located in the picturesque Xromonastiri Valley in the heart of Crete, Greece, embodies the essence of the Mediterranean diet. Crete is renowned for its fertile lands, ideal climate, and long-standing tradition of producing exceptional olive oil. This heritage is proudly upheld by our family-run company, which is committed to offering exquisite quality and unparalleled taste in every bottle.
Miron Nikolidakis
For more than 130 years, Kriti Gold has been dedicated to producing exceptional extra virgin olive oil rooted in the traditions of Crete, Greece. Founded in 1897, our family-driven brand was built on a simple philosophy: quality first, authenticity always.
Our olives are grown under the Cretan sun, where mineral-rich soil, mountain springs, Mediterranean sea breezes, and over 300 days of sunshine each year create one of the world's most exceptional olive-growing regions. Passed down through generations, our commitment to traditional cultivation and uncompromising quality remains at the heart of everything we do.
Today, Kriti Gold combines this rich heritage with modern innovation. Through a vertically integrated production process—from carefully selected partner growers to our state-of-the-art production facility—we oversee every step to ensure exceptional quality, complete traceability, and outstanding flavour in every bottle.
Proudly distributed across Canada by Groupe Alimentaire Miron, Kriti Gold has become Canada's #1 selling Greek extra virgin olive oil (NielsenIQ), trusted by families, chefs, and food lovers from coast to coast. Our award-winning oils, recognized internationally at the London Olive Oil Awards, reflect our unwavering dedication to excellence while bringing the authentic taste of Greece to Canadian kitchens.
Whether you're finishing a fresh salad, preparing a family meal, or simply enjoying olive oil with warm bread, Kriti Gold invites you to experience over a century of Cretan tradition in every pour.
