Terra Zakros Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from the Koroneiki variety in the Zakros region of eastern Crete and carries the PDO Sitia certification, which guarantees its origin and quality. It is characterized by very low acidity of 0.3%, a golden-green color, and a rich fruity aroma.
The taste is well-balanced, with a harmonious combination of sweetness and bitterness, followed by a long and pleasant finish that highlights the authenticity of the terroir. The olives are harvested at optimal ripeness and processed on the same day, preserving the oil’s nutritional value and freshness.
By combining traditional methods with modern technology, the brand achieves high quality and product stability. The oil is stored under controlled conditions and bottled just before distribution, ensuring maximum freshness.
