Ellora Farms Aleta: Premium Greek EVOO from a Single Estate

Discover Aleta, a distinguished Greek extra virgin olive oil from Ellora Farms. Packaged in a convenient 1 liter tin, this oil blends authentic Crete terroir with a stringent certification portfolio. It carries USDA Organic and EU Single Estate PDO designations, reflecting careful sourcing from the Messara Valley and production from the Koroneiki variety—often celebrated for its lively aroma and nuanced peppery finish.

Beyond Organic: PDO and Single Estate Quality

This oil goes beyond standard organic seals. It combines Protected Designation of Origin status with EU Single Estate Organic certification to verify origin, authenticity, and consistent quality from the same estate. The result is a product whose story starts in Crete and ends in your kitchen.

• USDA Organic certification signals a rigorous organic standard.
• EU PDO and Single Estate certification ensure traceable origin and consistency.

Harvest, Milling, and Preservation

Aleta is milled within hours of picking, after olives are transported in climate-controlled conditions. This rapid processing helps preserve antioxidants, phenols, and aroma. The Koroneiki variety is cold extracted, producing an oil that remains unrefined and unfiltered for a vivid, fresh profile.

• Harvest-to-mill timing preserves freshness and aroma.
• Cold extraction protects flavor and beneficial compounds.
• 100% unrefined oil preserves the authentic olive character.

Origin, Variety, and Authenticity

Grown on family estates in the Messara Valley, Koroneiki olives contribute a distinctive aroma and peppery edge. Each bottle and tin is numbered, reflecting a tightly monitored process that emphasizes single origin and estate provenance.

• Single origin, single estate – 100% Koroneiki olives from Crete’s Messara region.
• Numbered packaging signals traceability and quality control.

Flavor, Pairings, and Use

With a vibrant fruit profile and a clean, peppery finish, Aleta is versatile across a range of dishes. It shines in leafy salads, raw or steamed vegetables, fish and white meats, pasta, and sauces, and it works beautifully as a finishing oil for soups and pilafs.

• Ideal for dressings, drizzling, or finishing hot dishes.
• Enhances seafood, vegetables, pasta, and pizza toppings without overpowering the main flavors.

Certifications, Health Designations, and Packaging

In addition to organic certification, Aleta bears Kosher EK and EU PDO marks. The oil carries a heart-healthy designation under EU regulation 432/2012, signaling alignment with balanced dietary choices—without making predictive claims about health outcomes.
