<p>Aria Organic extra virgin olive oil is made from Koroneiki olives which are organically farmed without the use of chemicals or artificial fertilizers. Grown in the fertile soil of Western Crete, the olives are carefully harvested and crushed within hours of picking from the tree, providing a unique aroma and taste that is truly unparalleled.</p><p>The Aria brand was founded by Emmanuel Daskalakis, who began with the dream of importing oil produced from his family's olive groves in Crete. This very special extra virgin olive oil benefits from the sun-rich soil and sea-salt air on the island of Crete. Here the olives are nurtured to perfection and upon reaching their optimal ripeness, they are harvested and with uncompromising integrity, transformed into an oil of exceptionally high quality. Aria is beloved for its distinctive smooth flavor, aroma and low acidity.</p>
