OUR PRIDE - Organic Olive Oil ELIATO

​

Olive oil has been introduced to the world by the ancient Minoan civilization, which ruled Crete over 5,000 years ago. They believed that olive oil brings longevity and strength. They called it ‘fountain of youth”. Later on Homer named olive oil as “liquid gold”.

ELIATO comes from 300 years old olive grove "Dzialka Tomka" situated in beautiful surroundings of Mirabello Bay in Crete. We follow the traditional way of sustainable cultivating; we do not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides at any stage of production.

We grow the Koroneiki olive, the ‘royal’ type, which is highly praised for its exquisite taste and texture. We are aware of the uniqueness; that is why our trees are well cared of during the whole year. Not only the warm Cretan sun, spring clean water and fertile soil, but also our love make our olives grow and ripe. The trees are treated like members of the family - we know that the love for them will be returned unconditionally and genuinely.

The olives are picked when fully matured and then cold extracted at exceptionally low temperatures within a few hours. We make sure that the olive oil is extracted from OUR olives; that its pureness and the quality are preserved.

ELIATO is truly exceptional. It belongs to the upper category of extra virgin olive oil with acidity of less than 0,3%. Its greenish color and buttery and persistent peppery taste brings great culinary experience at any time. You can use it for salads, marinating, frying or simply enjoy it with bread and a pinch of salt.
