Ellora Farms Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 L Tin — USDA Organic PDO Single-Estate Koroneiki, Cold-Pressed

Aleta is a single-estate, USDA Organic and EU-certified PDO extra virgin olive oil pressed from 100% Koroneiki olives in Crete and packaged in a 1 L tin for freshness.

Harvested in the Messara Valley of Crete and milled hours after picking, this extra virgin olive oil preserves the olive’s natural aroma and phenolic profile. The product combines multiple quality assurances — USDA Organic, EU Single Estate certification, PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), Kosher EK — to verify origin, processing, and handling. Packaged in a light-blocking 1 liter tin, Aleta is intended for everyday cooking and finishing where authentic Greek olive oil flavor is desired.

What makes Aleta different from other extra virgin olive oils?

Aleta stands out because it is single-origin, single-estate oil made exclusively from the Koroneiki variety. Certification from EU Single Estate and PDO confirms origin and traditional production, while USDA Organic and Kosher EK cover agricultural and handling standards.

• 100% Koroneiki olives from Messara Valley, Crete
• EU Single Estate and PDO verification for origin authenticity
• USDA Organic farming practices and Kosher EK certification
• Numbered tins to track small-batch production

How is the oil processed to protect flavor and quality?

Olives are transported in climate-controlled conditions and milled within hours of harvest to reduce oxidation and preserve volatile aromas. The oil is cold extracted (first cold press), unrefined, and unfiltered to retain natural compounds that contribute to taste and stability.

• Climate-controlled transport from grove to mill
• Milled within hours of harvesting
• 100% cold extraction, first cold press method
• Unrefined and unfiltered to keep natural complexity

Which dishes and uses showcase Aleta best?

Aleta’s fruity and peppery Koroneiki character suits both raw and cooked applications. Use it as a finishing oil on salads and mozzarella, drizzle over grilled fish or vegetables, or incorporate it into sauces, soups, and Mediterranean recipes.

• Drizzle over leafy salads, fresh mozzarella, and caprese
• Finish grilled fish, white meats, or steamed vegetables
• Use in pasta, pizza toppings, sauces, soups, and legumes
• Ideal for dipping bread or making vinaigrettes

How should I store and measure freshness for the 1 L tin?

The tin protects oil from light and helps extend shelf life; store it in a cool, dark place and keep the lid tightly closed. For best flavor, use within months of opening and note the numbered batch for traceability if you want to check harvest timing.

• Keep the tin in a cool, dark cupboard away from heat sources
• Reseal after each use to limit air exposure
• Use within a few months after opening for optimal flavor
• Refer to the tin’s batch number to confirm production date

If you value traceability, traditional single-varietal character, and a tin that preserves freshness for everyday use or professional kitchens, this product is a practical, high-quality choice.
