The basis of the Cretan Nutrition.
Not one dish can be prepared without olive oil.
Olive oil is the basis of the Cretan diet and the elixir of Cretans for longevity and good health. The fine quality of Cretan oil, with its dark green color and its strong fruity flavor is the first and the last addition to every traditional Cretan delicacy. Virgin olive oil has no mixtures and additives.
Olive oil with acidity below 1 is also considered to be one of the finest. Before leaving the island don’t forget to bring with you the taste and sense of Crete trapped in a small bottle of virgin olive oil.
