Frequently Asked Questions

What does PDO mean for olive oil?
PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) is the EU's highest geographic certification — it guarantees the olives were grown and the oil was produced entirely within the specified region (Sitia Lasithiou, Crete), following strict quality standards.

Is Zaytinya the same as El Tilo?
No — Zaytinya is a Greek PDO olive oil from Crete; El Tilo is a certified organic Spanish EVOO. Both are premium extra virgin olive oils, but from different origins and olive varieties.

Can I ship this olive oil to California or Florida?
Yes — Zaytinya 5L ships to all 50 US states including California, Florida, Texas, and New York.

Shipping & Storage

Ships at room temperature to any address in the continental United States. Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. Consume within 18–24 months of harvest date and within 3–6 months of opening for peak flavor.
