Ellora Farms Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil — PDO Sitia 1L Tin, Single‑Estate & High Polyphenols

Ellora Farms Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a single‑estate, PDO Sitia extra virgin olive oil from Koroneiki olives on Crete, cold‑pressed and fully traceable.

Harvested on a single family estate in Sitia, Crete, this 1‑liter tin delivers a genuine Mediterranean olive oil experience. Certified PDO Sitia, the oil comes from Koroneiki trees and is cold extracted to retain its bright, fruity aromatics and high polyphenol content. Each tin carries a unique QR traceability code so you can follow the oil from grove to table, and the packaging is designed to preserve freshness and flavor.

What flavor profile should I expect from this Sitia PDO olive oil?

This oil shows the typical Koroneiki character: lively green-fruity notes up front, a balanced herbaceous body, and a pleasantly peppery finish. The cold press preserves volatile compounds that create aroma and taste complexity without bitterness.

• Top notes: fresh green fruit, cut grass, mild tomato leaf
• Mid palate: clean, round mouthfeel with light almond undertones
• Finish: a clear, persistent peppery bite indicating polyphenols
• Best use: raw dressings, finishing oil, light sautéing

How is the oil produced and why does the PDO matter?

Production follows traditional and tightly controlled methods on one estate: handpicked Koroneiki olives are cold pressed shortly after harvest to prevent oxidation. PDO Sitia certification confirms origin and standardised quality controls, linking the oil to the Crete microclimate and local cultivation practices.

• Single estate: consistent terroir and harvest practices
• Cold extraction: minimal heat preserves nutrients and aroma
• PDO Sitia: certified origin and regulated quality
• Traceability: unique QR code traces batch to grove and mill

How should I store and use the 1L tin to keep it fresh?

The tin offers excellent light protection and a tight seal that slows oxidation. Keep it in a cool, dark cupboard away from heat sources and use within a few months after opening for peak aroma; the oil is suitable for dressings, finishing, and moderate cooking.

• Storage: cool, dark place away from stove or sunlight
• Container: metal tin blocks light and reduces oxygen exposure
• Use timeline: best within 3–6 months after opening for flavor
• Cooking: ideal for low‑to‑medium heat, dressings, and drizzling
