What Does PDO Mean?

PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) is an official EU certification that protects the name of a regional product whose quality and characteristics are exclusively linked to its geographical origin.

To qualify for PDO, every step—from olive cultivation to extraction and packaging—must happen within the certified region, following strict traditional methods.

For Elea Creta, this means:

• Grown exclusively in Kolymvari, Chania (Crete)

• Crafted from local Koroneiki olives

• Cold-extracted using time-honored Cretan practices

This seal is more than a label—it’s a guarantee of purity, authenticity, and premium quality.

Key Features:

• 100% Crete: Sourced exclusively from the finest olive groves on the island.

• Cold-Pressed: Natural extraction preserves the nutrients, flavors, and antioxidants.

• Sustainably Produced: Made with respect for the environment and local traditions.

• Mild & Aromatic: A versatile addition to any kitchen, perfect for drizzling, cooking, or dipping.

Storage Instructions

• Keep in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid exposure to heat, light, and humidity to preserve quality and flavor. Ideal temperature: 15–22°C.

• Do not refrigerate. Olive oil may become cloudy or solidify in the fridge. This is natural and reversible at room temperature without affecting quality.

• Seal tightly after use. Always close the bottle or tin securely to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.

• Avoid contamination. Use clean utensils and never return oil back into the container once poured.
