Sitia Lasithiou Kritis P.D.O. Olive Oil

This product is an Extra Virgin Olive Oil originating from the Sitia region of Lasithi, Crete, Greece. It carries the Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) seal, which ensures the product is produced, processed, and prepared in a specific geographical area using recognized know-how.

The oil is manufactured and bottled in Greece, specifically on the island of Crete. While several regional cooperatives and private labels package Sitia P.D.O. oil for the international market (often seen in German retailers like EDEKA or Lidl under private labels), the product is fundamentally rooted in Greek agricultural traditions. The branding and certification belong to the specific regional producers of Sitia, though the distribution and ultimate owner of the specific retail packaging are often large European retail groups.
