We had a delicious tasting of a variety of different Cretan products including the intense early harvest oil. We learned about olive oil tasting technique and the Cretan oil production process. Our host had a personal connection to the oil production and was very knowledgeable about it with engaging answers to all our questions. The tasting here is recommended or at least stop in for fair prices on tasty consumable and giftable Greek products.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tasting, learned about Cretan olive oil, and felt our passion through the experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you again.
