PDO certified products must be produced, processed, and prepared in a specific geographical region, using recognized and approved production methods. Protecting the origin name is important as it ensures product authenticity and protects it from imitations, assuring consumers about the product's origin and quality. The manufacturer offers various variants, including Sitia BIO, Terra Zakros, Sitia 0.2, and Agoureleo.

Terra Zakros

This extra virgin olive oil comes from the Zakros region of Crete, known for the quality of its olive oil. It is characterized by an acidity level of 0.3% and comes from the Koroneiki olive variety. It has a golden green color, a balanced sweet-bitter taste, a long-lasting aftertaste, and a fruity scent. Its quality is the result of meticulous attention to detail in production and standardization according to international norms.

Sitia BIO

Produced in the olive groves of the Zakros region, this oil is made from Koroneiki variety olives, cultivated using organic methods. After harvesting, the olives are ground and filtered through a paper filter, undergo quality analysis, and are then bottled. It is characterized by high quality and a natural production process.

Sitia 0.2

This extra virgin olive oil is produced in the Sitia region, known for its high-quality olive oil. The company has created an innovative product - Sitia 0.2, which is distinguished by its intense fruity flavor, unique organoleptic characteristics, and especially low acidity of 0.2%. It is ideal for everyday use, both raw and in cooking, and also has beneficial health properties.

Agoureleo

This natural olive oil is produced from unripe, green fruits. It has an intensely green color and differs from other olive oils in taste – it is intensely bitter and spicy, with a fruity aroma. The olives are handpicked at the beginning of October, and their processing occurs on the same day. Agoureleo contains vitamins, provitamins, and polyphenols, which protect cells from acidic stress. It is most commonly consumed raw.
