For the EON olive oil creation, certified growers- producers were chosen from the fertile land of Crete. The whole region of Crete consists a vast olive grove. The favorable climate, sunlight, terrain, as well as the individual producers’ farming techniques practiced at their modern mills result in EON extra virgin olive oil production.
