Olive Oil SItia PDO

Sitia PDO

Premium EVOO Sitia Lasithi Crete PDO. Maybe this is the most well-known olive oil in Crete. In the area of Sitia, at the east edge of Crete, we collect by hand at the end of November this “green gold”. The area’s unique microclimate with extended sunshine, as well as the rich ground have made Sitia olive oil very famous. The result is a delicate and aromatic oil that is especially suitable as a finishing oil for grilled fish, green salads and cooked vegetables. Delicious Crete’s EVOO Sitia Lasithi Crete PDO is a premium extra virgin olive oil, of extremely low acidity (0,29 during production).
