Our History

Our olive oil

Once upon a time, on the beautiful island of Crete, there was a small village in the east, in Sitia, that produced high quality olive oil for centuries. The villagers were proud of their olive oil, which they believed was the best in all of Greece.

One day, a traveller arrived in the village, claiming to be a descendant of the great god Zeus. The villagers were skeptical, but the traveler insisted that he had a special gift that would prove his divine lineage. He asked the villagers to bring him their best olive oil and promised to turn it into something truly magical.

The villagers were curious and excited, so they gathered all their best olive oil and brought it to the traveller. The traveler took the olive oil and poured it into a small container. He then recited an ancient Greek incantation and stirred the oil with a golden stick.

Suddenly, the oil began to sparkle and shine. The traveler lifted the wand and a thick golden liquid dripped from its tip. He offered the liquid to the villagers, who hesitated at first, but soon became curious. They tasted the liquid and their eyes grew wide with surprise. It was the most delicious thing they had ever tasted!

The traveler explained that he had used his divine powers to turn the olive oil into ambrosia, the food of the gods. He told the villagers that their olive oil was now blessed and would bring good luck to anyone who consumed it.

The villagers were overjoyed and grateful to the traveler. They shared the ambrosia with their friends and family and soon people from all over Greece were coming to the village to taste the miraculous olive oil. The village prospered and the traveller became a legend.

To this day, the people of Sitia in Crete continue to produce some of the best olive oils in Greece. They believe that their olive oil is blessed by the gods and continue to honour the ancient Greek myth of the traveller who turned their olive oil into ambrosia.
