Back to newsCrete has introduced a new dedicated certification label called "Eleoladο Kriti" (Olive Oil Crete) to distinguish and protect locally produced olive oil. The initiative establishes a unified regional brand for Cretan olive oil, which is internationally recognized for its quality and high polyphenol content. Crete produces roughly 30% of Greece's total olive oil output, with the majority coming from the Lassithi, Heraklion, and Chania regions. The new label helps consumers and buyers identify authentic Cretan-origin products more easily. For visitors, this means certified bottles bearing the "Eleoladο Kriti" mark found in local markets, delis, and specialty shops are guaranteed to be regionally sourced. Purchasing labeled products is a reliable way to bring home genuine Cretan extra virgin olive oil as a souvenir or culinary gift.
