Petria vuno

Petria is a premium quality olive oil produced from the olive groves of the Eleftherios Plessas’ family. The entire process of cultivation and production is meticulously aligned with the environmental sustainability principles, demonstrating an honest respect for nature and man, all resulting to a distinctively palatable and vitamin rich organic olive oil.

The land and soil that foster the growth of our young olive trees is being cultivated according to the organic farming methodology. These methods are controlled and certified by the greek faculty for inspection and certification of organic products, DIO (www.dionet.gr), in accordance with the Regulation (EC) 834/2007.

The olive groves are located in the municipality of Distion in Evia island, at an altitude of 250 meters from the Aegean Sea, hosting 3500 roots. The trees grow in the fresh air and they are irrigated with water of excellent quality which springs straight from the depths of the rocky land by drilling, as evidenced by the actual name of that particular geographical area, which is “Petries” (rocky). The unique location of the grove that keeps it distant from the road as well as from any other crops, secures protection from any kind of infection and offers a really pure product of high nutritional value.

The fruits of Koroneiki olives mixt with local olive varieties are harvested and selected by hand, transported directly into burlap sacks to a traditional organic stone mill

The oil extraction is performed according to the cold pressing procedure in order to preserve the more valuable components of the olives. Then, the oil is stored into stainless steel containers (INOX 18/10), subjected exclusively to natural sedimentation, excluding any kind of mechanical or chemical filtration.

When the olives are harvested while unripe, they give us the well known green olive oil. This oil variety has a short life-cycle and it is only produced in limited quantity, elevating itself to be considered as the "liquid gold" of the mediterranean nutrition.

The unique ingredients of both the Petria extra virgin organic olive oil, are our sincere love for nature and sustainability, along with our uncompromising respect towards the human values.
