What is a PDO certificate?

The P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) certificate protects products that are closely linked to the specific region in which they are produced. In the case of Terra Creta Estate P.D.O. Kolymvari olive oil, this means that the entire production process – from harvesting the olives to pressing the oil – takes place in the Kolymvari region. This ensures that the oil retains its authentic flavour and the highest quality characteristic of this area. This oil is produced from Koroneiki olives, grown in the traditional way in ideal climatic conditions.

What is the BIO certificate?

Terra Creta Estate olive oil with BIO certification is a unique product that guarantees the highest quality and organic production methods. The BIO certification confirms that the oil is produced in accordance with strict standards for olive cultivation, without the use of artificial fertilisers, pesticides or other chemical plant protection products. All stages of olive oil production – from cultivation in selected olive groves, through harvesting, to pressing – are carried out in accordance with the principles of organic farming. The BIO certificate guarantees that Terra Creta Estate BIO olive oil is a natural product, free from artificial additives, supporting a healthy lifestyle and environmental protection.
