Where Elea Creta Is Located
CRETE: The biggest and most southeastern island of Greece.
Scientists believe that the cultivation of the first olive trees occurred in Greece, more specifically on the island of Crete, around 3500 years ago, during the Minoan period.
Over time, the relationship between olives and olive oil has changed quickly, impacting social activities as well. For example, at the first Olympic Games in Olympia in 776 B.C., winners were awarded an olive branch to symbolize peace and signify that there was no longer any hostility between them.
Production of Elea Creta Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Their state-of-the-art olive mil produces Extra Virgin Olive Oil using natural methods and strictly controlled low-temperature conditions. They transport the olives from the mill to the bottling plant using underground pipes to protect the quality of the oil.
The production begins immediately after the harvest to avoid deterioration of elements, color, and aromas. Underground stainless steel tanks provide maximum protection against high temperatures. With a total capacity of 4500 bottles per hour, our fully equipped production line meets all required packaging parameters. 1 lt per hour on average bottle capacity
Quality Control is carried out in modern laboratories certified by the E.U. and the International Olive Oil Board. ISO 22000 and IFS are all applied to our production facilities. The combination of two olive varieties, “Koroneiki” and “Psilolia,” unique to Crete, provides excellent taste and fragrance qualities to the high-quality extra virgin olive oil. These olive oils are then exported worldwide.
