Authentic Experiences
Taste the Soul of Crete
A Journey of Flavors
Crete is renowned for its production in wine, olive oil, and honey. These ingredients are locally produced and found in every Cretan household. We invite you to explore these flavors through our carefully curated experiences with local partners.
PATHOS EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Pathos Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Olive oil is deeply rooted into Cretan tradition and the Cretan diet. Nearly every family in Crete harvests its own olive trees and produces its own olive oil — an essential element that is never missing from the table. Pathos EVOO is crafted in a traditional olive grove at the northern foothills of Mount Psiloritis, in the area of Kavalaria, Korfes Malevizi. Made exclusively from the Koroneiki variety, the olives are cultivated organically, with great respect for every stage of the process. All production practices are carried out with care for both the environment and the olive trees themselves.
