Single-Origin Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Oct/Nov Harvest 2025 from Greece (Organic / Bio Certified)

Every autumn, when the hills of Eastern Crete cool down and the first winds arrive from the sea, the olive harvest begins. Our October–November 2025 harvest of single-origin, organic/Bio certified, PDO extra virgin olive oil from Greece is now available. It is fresh, aromatic and full of the natural character of our region.

At Sopato, we produce single-origin, cold-pressed, organic extra virgin olive oil from groves located inside the UNESCO Sitia Geopark and the protected Sitia PDO region. For anyone looking to buy extra virgin olive oil directly from the farmer, with real traceability from tree to can, this year’s harvest reflects the honesty and simplicity of how olive oil is made here.

Our olive groves grow on rugged mountain terraces shaped by wind, stone and centuries of cultivation. Because the terrain is steep and uneven, large mechanical harvesters cannot reach the trees.

We harvest in the traditional Cretan way:

• Nets placed gently under each tree

• Hand tools and sticks

• Modern electric harvest rods

• Slow, careful work that protects both the fruit and the tree

It is not the fastest method, but it produces exceptional quality and maintains the health of the land.

Our oil is produced in the official Sitia PDO region, one of Europe’s most respected olive-oil zones.

PDO certification guarantees:

• The olives come only from this specific geographic region

• Milling and bottling take place locally

• Only approved local varieties, such as Koroneiki, are used

• Production follows strict EU quality rules

• Blending with oils from other areas is not allowed

PDO ensures true origin, purity and full authenticity.

Sopato is fully organic/Bio certified. This means:

• No chemical pesticides

• No herbicides

• Protection of soil and biodiversity

• Yearly inspections and laboratory tests

• Traceability from grove to bottle

For you, this means an olive oil that is genuinely natural, clean and chemical-free.

Our olives are milled within hours of being harvested. This preserves:

• Low natural acidity

• High polyphenol content

• Fresh, fruity aromas

• Bright green colour

• A long and clean finish

Perfect for salads, vegetables, bread, pasta, grilled dishes or everyday cooking.

Once filled and sealed, your olive oil is shipped from Crete with DHL.

Delivery to most countries usually takes 10 to 15 days. Each order supports small-scale agriculture and helps preserve traditional olive farming in our region.
