In the western end of Crete lies one of the most traditional olive oil producing areas in the prefecture of Chania, the village of Voukolies. Here is the birthplace of Elidia Chania Crete P.G.I. The rich, unpolluted soil and the specific microclimatic conditions found on this part of Crete silently work together to provide local growers with an extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) of exceptional flavor and distinctive aromas. With smoothness and fruitiness dominating its taste, Elidia Chania Crete P.G.I will discreetly embrace flavors in your dishes to offer your palate a unique gustatory experience you will find hard to forget.
According to the EU regulations, this extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is classified as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) olive oil. Chania Crete P.G.I. demands the highest standards for extra virgin olive oil from Chania. The certification process consists of comprehensive documentation and registration audits according to EU legislation, which ensure absolute traceability, from grower to mill to bottling. We are proud that our Elidia Chania Crete P.G.I. carries one of the oldest PGI stamps of authenticity established by EU authorities back in 1996 (DOOR database).
