The audit and certification of PGI Kritsas with the support of Proactive has been completed

19/04/2021

After the great success of registering the name Kritsa in the Register of Protected Geographical Indications maintained by the EU, the Agricultural Cooperative Kritsa is the first company to be certified by ELGO-DIMITRA for the production, packaging and marketing of PGE Kritsa olive oil.

This success is a practical proof of the commitment of AS Kritsas to his unwavering goal to travel the world with the special olive oil of the region. An olive oil whose production now takes place in a clearly defined area, and with specific practices applied to the cultivation, harvesting, processing of the olive fruit and the storage and packaging of the olive oil.

The commitment to this goal has remained constant for a century or so. Since the first producers – members of the Cooperative began to build a strong brand name for Kritsa olive oil without even having planned it. An olive oil with a golden-green color and a fruity taste that gradually acquired a special reputation which allowed it to gradually spread to the rest of Crete, Greece and the international markets.
