OIL from CRETE

is one of the most important elements of the Cretan civilization. It was connected with civilization, with religious ceremonials, medicine
and pastry making.
The
historical presence - about 4000 years - of olive oil in Crete indicates its
historical and cultural character, as well as the Cretan's experience in
producing and bottling it. This persistence on it's quality is
supported by historical evidence and the reputation and the demand that olive
oil has acquired nowadays.
