An incredible experience to discover a quality olive oil! Everything is done to highlight the aromas and learn the right combinations in the kitchen. I don’t see olive oil the same way now and will pay attention to what I buy in France 🫣 Welcoming at the top in a family cocoon where you feel at home! _____________________________________ An incredible experience to discover quality olive oil!

The olive oil tasting was very professionally organized. Even I learned something as a professional:-) It was a lot of fun to taste the different oils. The olive oil is really of high quality. I was particularly impressed by the high-quality bottling and the professionalism of the employees. Whether for business or pleasure, I can highly recommend Savouidakis!

Maria & Jannis present their olive oil with a lot of passion in a Mood that absolutely lives up to the quality of the products. We stayed with the two even after our olive harvest and learned many details. Next time, we will be even more mindful of harvesting to do even better justice to the fruits and their preparation. It is always something special not only to consume, but to know who makes it with idealism. Many of our friends in Munich source olive oil directly from Savouidakis. Highly recommended! See you next year Matthias

A taste "guided tour" that you should not lose...! Leave Crete, by taking with you the aroma and flavor "print" of most special olive oils of the island!
