Nothing hidden.

PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) is the EU’s highest certification for authenticity. It guarantees that every step, from growing the olives to pressing and bottling, happens in the same protected region using traditional methods.

AGROCERT / POC (Hellenic Agricultural Organization – ELGO-DIMITRA) is the official Greek public authority responsible for administering, inspecting and issuing PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certifications in Greece.

USDA Organic certification verifies that a product meets strict U.S. standards for how it is grown, processed, handled and labeled. It prohibits synthetic pesticides, GMOs, irradiation and sewage sludge, and requires documented traceability at every stage.

Certification is granted only after a detailed Organic System Plan, independent inspections by a USDA-accredited certifier, and a full compliance review, with annual renewals and ongoing oversight. Imported products must meet the same standards as U.S.-grown goods. Like the EU BIO and GR-BIO systems, USDA Organic is a regulated, audited framework that ensures organic integrity through verified practices, inspections and documentation, not marketing claims.

The EU Organic (EU/BIO) logo identifies products that meet the European Union’s strict organic farming standards. It confirms that ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, are non-GMO, and are produced under regulations that emphasize soil health, biodiversity and sustainable farming.

GR-BIO-03 / GR-BIO-14 is the identification code of the accredited organic control body that inspects and certifies the product under the EU Organic regulation in Greece. “GR” stands for Greece; the number identifies the certification body (BIO-03: BIOHELLAS S.A., BIO-14: OXYGONO – Hellenic Certification Body) that audits compliance with EU organic standards.

We choose dark glass over plastic on purpose. Olive oil is naturally acidic and can interact with plastic over time, increasing the risk of chemical and micro- or nano-plastic leaching. Dark glass is inert and non-reactive, and shields the oil from sunlight and oxidation, helping preserve its flavor, aroma and freshness.

Just as important, the bottle is designed to be beautiful on any countertop and worthy of gifting: protecting what’s inside while looking right at home outside.

We believe transparency means more than claims. It means proof. That’s why our products are laboratory tested to verify purity, composition and overall quality. We publish these independent lab analyses on our website, so you can see exactly what has been tested and decide with confidence.

Nothing hidden, nothing assumed. Just documented standards you can review for yourself.

“Product of Greece” means each Ambrosia & Nektar product is produced, processed and bottled at origin in Greece, under Greek and European Union food-safety, traceability and quality-control regulations. Our olive oil is milled and bottled in Crete; our honey, herbs, tea and pomegranate juice are harvested and packed in the Mount Olympus region. Never shipped in bulk for repackaging elsewhere.

Greek and EU law require full lot tracking, facility registration and documented origin for every batch, an unbroken chain of custody from farm to bottle. For you, “Product of Greece” is not a marketing phrase. It is a legal guarantee of provenance, authenticity and accountability, backed by European oversight.
