All the Olive Oils of Terra Creta S.A. are Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the result of the natural juices of the olive crop without any kind of processing whatsoever.

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil “Terra Creta”
The olive is a crop – the fruit of the olive tree. When the cultivation methods and the pressing procedures at the factory have retained the highest standards of quality within the olive oil, only then can it be labeled as “Extra Virgin.” If Terra Creta S.A. has a clear advantage, it is because its Extra Virgin Olive Oil is always of the same region, the same variety of olive and its values of acidity, waxes, etc. never exceed 50% of the maximum allowance of these elements under the regulations set by the European Union.
