500ml Extra Virgin Sarakina Olive Oil, from Sarakina Sfakia Crete. Tsounato quality Mono Variety not a blend.

500 ml extra virgin olive oil, Tsounato extra virgin olive oil is truly exceptional due to its elevated levels of vitamins, antioxidants, phenols, and polyphenols when compared to other varieties of extra virgin olive oil. Its distinct sweet and mild taste, along with its golden color, sets it apart from all other extra virgin olive oils. Furthermore, the fact that it is exclusively produced in our region, with no other production sites around the world, adds to its uniqueness and special quality. The harvesting process for Tsounati olives is also unique, as the tree is delicate and cannot withstand traditional harvesting methods. Instead, we patiently wait for the fruits to ripen and fall naturally from the tree, resulting in a harvest period that spans 6-7 months from early November to the end of May

Those varieties in that particular climatic (full sunlight, high rainfalls, low humidity) and geomorphologic (inclining grounds) conditions of our region give physiochemical and organoleptic characteristics to their "Extra Virgin Olive oil from Selino county in Crete".
