Kreta24 is not a middleman but an importer working directly with producers. That's how we can guarantee authenticity (every product comes from a specific, verified producer), quality (we select only what we ourselves consider the best in its category) and fair prices (no middleman's margin). Our range is selected by a certified olive oil sommelier.
Olive oil is our speciality – over 100 varieties and formats, from everyday kitchen oils to EVOOs with a very high polyphenol content. Greece is the heart of our offer, but we are guided by quality, not geography: for us a region is potential, not a label. So alongside oils from Crete, the Peloponnese and Lesvos you'll also find selected oils from Tuscany, Cyprus and California. Every one is assessed both sensorially and in the laboratory before it goes on sale.
Greece is more than olive oil, though. From the islands and regions of Greece we import products from local, often family-run producers – olives, cheeses, honeys, herbs, traditional sweets and olive-based cosmetics – paying close attention to short, clear ingredient lists. We discuss the most interesting research on olive oil and health in plain language on our blog.
You can read more about how we work and how we test olive oil on our About us page. Not sure which olive oil to choose? Write to us – we'll advise you based on real knowledge, not marketing slogans.
Pamako olive oil polyphenols in a Hellenic Pasteur Institute study (Nutrients 2026): given prophylactically, the extract cut triple-negative breast cancer tumours in mice by 46%; given late, it did nothing. Analysis, mechanisms, limitations and dose converted into tablespoons of oil.
Oleocanthal from The Governor Greek olive oil reduced tumor mass in mice by 97.6–99.1% in a study published in Nutrients (August 2026). We explain what was demonstrated, why the gut was involved—and how much olive oil with a given D1 index corresponds to the dose reported in the publication.
At kreta24, we have spent years sourcing and selling the finest Greek extra virgin olive oils. One resource has consistently stood out as an invaluable reference: Greek Liquid Gold (greekliquidgold.com) — the only comprehensive English-language website dedicated exclusively to Greek olive oil. Created by Dr. Lisa Radinovsky, a researcher and journalist with a doctorate from Duke University, the site reaches readers in over 220 countries and is recognised by industry experts as one of the most reliable sources of information on the subject. We use it ourselves, and we recommend it to every customer who wants to truly understand what they are buying.
“Polyphenols” is a buzzword these days. It appears on labels, in advertisements, and in product descriptions—but the mere fact that olive oil “has a lot of polyphenols” means nothing unless it is backed by concrete facts: analysis method, numerical result, laboratory name, and test date. In this article, we’ll break down four genuine NMR certificates step by step—from the delicate Manaki (180 mg/kg D1) to the phenomenal wild Agrelia (2,941 mg/kg D1)—and show you how to read them so you can distinguish marketing hype from real health benefits.
At kreta24.pl, we sell only extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). This is the highest quality grade—and it’s not just marketing. It is a precise legal category, the conditions of which are defined by Council Regulation (EC) No. 2568/91 and the standards of the International Olive Council (IOC). For olive oil to be labeled as extra virgin, it must meet both chemical and organoleptic criteria.
In the world of extra virgin olive oil, terms like BIO, organic, and premium appear more and more frequently. However, there is one certification that attracts particular attention among conscious consumers – Demeter.
Squalene is a natural lipid (triterpene) found, among others, in olive oil, known for its health-promoting and cosmetic properties. It is the main hydrocarbon in virgin olive oil, accounting for over 50% of the unsaponifiable fraction. This compound is also present in human sebum – in humans, squalene makes up about 12% of skin surface lipids, which suggests its important protective role against external factors (e.g., UV radiation)

Olive oil is olive juice, so freshness, variety and careful pressing are what matter. We offer extra virgin olive oil only – the highest grade there is.
