Aleta, USDA Organic Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pack of 1

This Organic PDO or Protective Designation of Origin goes beyond the organic certification and is also certified as Single Estate Organic by the European Union, attesting to the origin, quality, and authenticity. This is a super specialty Single Estate Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Messara Valley in Crete, Greece.

Aleta is milled within hours after harvesting, with the olives transported in a climate-controlled process to the mill to maintain the antioxidants and high levels of phenols.

The Koroneiki olives, also known as the "Queen of Olives," are used in this oil, known for their rich fruity aroma and characteristic peppery flavor. Each bottle and tin are numbered in accordance with a strictly monitored procedure.

This olive oil pairs best with leafy green salads, raw or steamed vegetables, broiled or grilled fish, white meat, soft cheese, pasta, pizza, toppings, soups and stews, sauces, legumes and pulses, rice pilaf or plain rice, or enjoyed straight up with mozzarella.

Aleta is 100% cold-extracted or from the first cold press of the Koroneiki variety olives at the source. It is unrefined and unfiltered, ensuring the highest quality from the family estates.

Aleta extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and minerals, attributes that are believed to contribute to a long and healthy life. The olive oil has a heart-healthy claim from the European Union under regulation EU 432/2012.

The olive oil is harvested and bottled at the Olive Estates of the Messara region in the island of Crete, Greece. The Olive Groves of Kolymvari are located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, where the olives have become a key ingredient of life, culture, and cuisine in the region. The fruity aroma in this EVOO is due to the "100% Messara Olive variety."
