extra virgin olive oil from Crete, Demeter
The single-variety, Demeter-certified olive oil made from Koroneiki olives combines centuries-old olive-growing tradition with modern quality standards. It is produced in Plora, Crete, in the heart of the fertile Messara Valley not far from the sacred hill of Phaistos. Here, small family farms cultivate olives with great care, creating oils of exceptional quality that embody authenticity, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
Features:
Thanks to first cold pressing at a maximum of 27 °C and immediate processing after harvest, its aroma, nutrients, and freshness are optimally preserved. The biodynamic cultivation according to Demeter standards ensures top quality and farming in harmony with people and nature.
The unique microclimate of the Messara Valley with its hot, dry days and cool nights gives the oil its distinctive character. It also carries the protected designation of origin (PDO), guaranteeing its provenance and close connection to the region.

Production
The Koroneiki olives are hand-harvested at the ideal stage of ripeness in the groves of the MINOA Culture Coop often on the same family-owned fields that have been cultivated for generations. After being washed with fresh drinking water, the olives are gently mechanically extracted within a few hours, with minimal exposure to air and at temperatures never exceeding 27 °C.
The oil is neither refined, steamed, winterized, nor deodorized. Additives such as talc, soda, or sodium carbonate are never used.
The result is a pure, Demeter-quality olive oil shaped by tradition, responsibility, and the passion of Cretan farmers who carry forward the biodynamic principles of their ancestors.
