THE ISLAND OF CRETE.
Our extra-virgin olive oil originates from the opulent valley of Messara on the island of Crete. The island of Crete is famous for its production of some of the world’s best-quality olive oils that offer unique and distinctive flavors and aromas. This region has been recently recognized as a Protected Geographical Indication by the European Union: the P.D.O. Messara.
We only use the Koroneiki variety which is a very small olive producing a smaller yield however, generating this incredible extra virgin olive oil, rich flavours that are perfectly balance the mild fruit aroma with the pungent and bitter flavour of the olives.
Crete’s ideal climatic characteristics based on its geographical location: the hot summers, the mild winters, the aridity and humidity levels as well as the mineral rich soil. Combining all these factors with our modern cultivation techniques, and our traditional know how allow us to offer an exceptional product. In fact, it is thanks to our careful processing method that we are able to maintain the unique flavours that have helped establish Crete as a leader in Olive Oil production.
