ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

This cold-pressed olive oil from the Rethymno region of Crete is unrefined, allowing it to remain in its purest, most antioxidant-rich form and retain a rich, full-flavour profile. Known as Crete’s ‘liquid gold’, olive oil has been produced on the island for thousands of years and remains at the heart of the local diet. It’s not just a product, it’s a symbol of Crete’s rich culinary heritage and is steeped in history and tradition. Its production dates all the way back to the ancient culture of the Minoans, a sea-faring nation who held Crete as their capital. They treasured the olive oil they produced on the island and as well as using it to create culinary delicacies, it was prized for its use in sacred rituals and cherished for its medicinal properties.
