Nostos Premium extra virgin is a Protected Geographical Indication (P.G.I) supreme quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) produced in Chania, a traditional olive oil producing area situated in the western Crete. Produced from olives of the Koroneiki cultivar, pressed at maximum temperatures of 27°C and under strictly monitored hygienic conditions, Nostos Premium exhibits a maximum acidity of 0.4% along with superior organoleptics. Fruity and pungent in taste with a noticeable mild bitterness, Nostos Premium extra virgin offers an exquisite stimulus for the palate and a wondrous taste journey through the aromas and flavors of the Cretan cuisine. In Homer’s renowned Odyssey, nostos expresses a yearning to return, love of homeland and of one’s roots. Nostos means nostalgia.
According to the E.U. 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 Nostos Premium extra virgin carries one of the oldest PGI stamps of authenticity established by EU authorities back in 1996 (DOOR database).
