Cretan Gold – The Liquid Legacy of Phaistos
Where Tradition Meets the Sun
In the golden light of Phaistos hills, near the ancient Palace of Phaistos, a timeless ritual unfolds. From groves steeped in myth and nurtured by generations, emerges Cretan Gold—an award-winning extra virgin olive oil (EVOO )that embodies the soul of Phaistos Crete.
Harvested with reverence during the early crop and cold-pressed with precision, this EVOO glows with a golden-green hue. Its aroma evokes freshly cut grass, wild herbs, and green almond—notes that whisper of purity and place. On the palate, it unfolds in layers: fruit-forward, delicately bitter, and gently spicy. A taste that lingers like memory.
In 2025, Cretan Gold was honored with the Gold Award – Early Harvest at the prestigious Dubai Olive Oil Competition, a testament to the devotion and craftsmanship infused in every drop.
Each bottle is a tribute to the island’s agricultural heritage, carrying the essence of Crete from the groves of Phaistos to tables around the world.
