His dream was to establish his own company that will promote and make available worldwide the precious products of Crete<\/a><\/strong>. So, he created an innovative olive oil unit in Angeliana, a traditional Cretan village in the area of Mylopotamos, in the prefecture of Rethymno.<\/p>\n

The size of the factory is 2.000 m2 and the production capability of 2.000 bottles per hour.<\/p>\n

Our motive is to show the consumers our love and respect to the soil and especially the olive tree, its most precious fruit, the olive oil<\/a><\/strong> – the \u201cliquid gold<\/strong>\u201d as it was called by Homer, the great poet of the Antiquity. Also, due to our long-time experience, we hold a significant position in the olive oil market and the agricultural products market in general, both in Greece and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The long periods of sunshine, the few rainfalls, the humidity and the sea salt, generate the ideal climate to produce the best variety of olive oil<\/strong> in the Mediterranean area, produced by Koroneiki<\/strong> olive trees.<\/p>\n

These special features encouraged the European Union, via the regulation 2092\/91, to acknowledge the great value of the variety and to characterize it as olive oil of Protected Designation of Origin<\/strong> (PDO)<\/a>, in order to distinguish this olive oil<\/a><\/strong> from the others of the same variety.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
