Kreta Food’s origins trace back to 1908 in southwestern Crete, where the owner’s family established their initial olive mill. Today, over a century later, the company stands as the leading producer of top-quality olive oil on the island. Crete’s ideal environment—characterized by plentiful sunlight, fertile soil, mild sea breezes, and a moderate climate—makes it perfect for growing olives. The olives are cultivated on small family-owned farms, ensuring meticulous care at every stage. The precise harvest time is carefully judged, the olives are hand-picked, and they are pressed within hours of picking. This process yields an exceptionally fragrant and distinctive oil.
