Cretan Essence - The gold of Crete
Cretan Essence is an extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) of the highest quality, obtained from the best hand-picked olives from the region around Agia Galini in the sun-kissed south of Crete. In this picturesque area, known for its breathtaking landscapes, olive oil has been produced according to ancient tradition for thousands of years.
Not far from the olive groves are impressive sights such as the ancient Minoan ruins of Phaistos, the mysterious cave of Agios Antonios and the idyllic beaches of Triopetra and Preveli. This region combines culture, nature and culinary excellence in a unique way.
Cretan Essence oil is obtained through purely mechanical processing and cold extraction, which preserves its full flavour and valuable nutrients. With an acidity of less than 0.3%, it is one of the finest and purest olive oils.
Sustainability takes centre stage: traditional olive oil production in this region focuses on careful cultivation methods, the preservation of old olive trees and resource-conserving processing.
Thanks to this sustainable practice, the environment is protected while at the same time a high-quality, natural olive oil is produced - a unique pleasure year after year, comparable to the finest vintages of a wine.
Experience the true essence of Crete with Cretan Essence - a piece of Mediterranean tradition that combines flavour, taste and flavour.
