Who is Lisa Radinovsky – the creator of Greek Liquid Gold?
The entire project is the work of one person: Dr. Lisa Radinovsky, an American scholar with a doctorate in the humanities from Duke University and an undergraduate degree from Princeton University. Yet it was not her academic career that shaped her unique perspective on olive oil — it was the years she spent in Greece, among olive groves, in mills, and at tasting tables.
In 2015, Lisa began writing about Greek olive oil for the renowned publication Olive Oil Times. She quickly identified a gap: despite Greece being the world's third-largest olive oil producer and home to many of the highest-rated extra virgin oils, it was virtually absent from the English-language internet. There was a shortage of reliable, up-to-date, detailed information. She set out to fill it.
Over the following years, she learned from Greek producers, tasters, exporters, scientists, and consumers. Her articles have appeared in Greece Is, TML Magazine, WikiFarmer, Greek Reporter, The National Herald (USA), The Greek Herald (Australia), and a Korean food documentary magazine, among others. In 2019, she presented a research poster at the prestigious 2nd International Yale Symposium on Olive Oil & Health in Delphi, Greece.
This is not a blogger writing about what she had for breakfast. This is a researcher and journalist who has specialised in one very specific subject for over a decade.

At kreta24.pl, we believe that an informed customer is a satisfied customer. When we understand where an olive oil comes from, how it is produced, what its certifications mean, and why one oil differs from another — we experience it in an entirely different way. Flavour gains context. A choice becomes a decision rather than a guess.
Greek Liquid Gold has helped build that knowledge in us over the years. We now recommend this resource with pleasure to everyone who shops with us — whether they are collectors of rare single-varietal oils or simply someone who wants to understand why a truly great extra virgin is worth the price.
