# 1 RATED AWARD WINNING EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL: Sitias olive-growing tradition is more than just agriculture-its heritage. Many of the families tending these groves today trace their roots back generations, preserving traditional harvesting methods that emphasize quality over quantity. The region even boasts a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, underscoring its commitment to authenticity and excellence. Each year, the island of Crete bestows upon the olive trees the ideal climate and soil conditions, enabling them to yield precious olive fruit. The olive fruit is promptly harvested and transported to state-of-the-art milling and processing facilities, where it undergoes immediate cold pressing and bottling. By employing low temperatures, we preserve the traditional flavor and exceptional quality of our olive oil. The resulting olive oil boasts a distinct peppery flavor and the fruitiness characteristic of authentic Cretan Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Its origin and authenticity are meticulously certified by the European Union standards. Ellora Farms PDO SITIA Extra Virgin Olive Oil exudes a plush, fruity bouquet and a subtle peppery undertone. Notably, acidity and other detrimental qualities are virtually absent due to our meticulous cultivation, selective harvesting, and extraction processes.
