Elitas Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the 4 litre tin carries the "Taste of Crete" seal on a dark green can. The label states that it is a superior category olive oil, obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means, made from the Koroneiki variety, extracted cold, and a 100% Greek product.
A large tin suits a household that cooks with olive oil every day. In Turkish cooking it is the natural choice for zeytinyağlı dishes such as green beans, artichokes, stuffed vine leaves or leeks with rice, which are cooked slowly and served cool. It also works well for dressing salads, marinating vegetables, finishing soups and mezze, or frying gently at moderate heat. Because the oil is meant to be used at home over weeks, many cooks pour a little into a small bottle or dispenser for the table and keep the tin closed.
Store the tin tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard away from the cooker and sunlight, and use the oil within the period printed on the tin.
