Olive cultivation on Crete began in ancient times and, according to some findings, the largest Greek island may even be the home of the olive. Vorios Mylopotamos Rethymnis Kritis olive oil is extracted mechanically from Koroneiki variety (at least 90%) and Chondrolia variety olives.
Both are cultivated in the province of Mylopotamos in Rethymnon prefecture, an area with soil content and a climate that are excellent for olive cultivation. The local inhabitants collaborate in picking the olives, and large amounts of olives are sent for pressing on a daily basis in order to preserve their organoleptic properties.
Vorios Mylopotamos Rethymnis Kritis olive oil tastes sweet, and it has an especially attractive yellow-golden color and a fruity aroma.
