Скачать или смотреть Why Cretan Olive Oil Is One of the Healthiest in the World | Tradition, Taste & Culture

🌿 Cretan olive oil holds a long-standing place in the island’s culture and diet.

The island’s Mediterranean climate ☀️, with mild winters and fertile soil, creates perfect conditions for olive trees to grow strong and healthy. One of the key varieties, the Koroneiki olive, produces oil rich in polyphenols—natural compounds linked to health benefits.

Traditional cold-pressing methods help maintain the oil’s nutrients and keep acidity low, often under 0.8%, which signals top quality. This process keeps the flavor robust and the nutritional value high. Cretan olive oil contains high levels of antioxidants, supporting heart health and overall wellness.

The story of olive cultivation in Crete goes back thousands of years, connecting today’s practices to ancient traditions. Locals continue to treat olive oil not just as food but as a symbol of life and community.

💚 When you visit Crete with us, you don’t just taste the olive oil—you learn the story behind it, directly from the people who make it. Explore experiences that connect you with local culture with Elissos.
