About Cretoikos

Cretoikos presents a range of foods and traditional products made in Crete, with olive oil at its center. The company says it produces and standardizes its products on the island, using quality ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations. Its online store lets shoppers browse the different varieties and place orders from Greece and abroad.

The selection includes extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), virgin olive oil, and organic varieties. The brand organizes part of its catalog by production area, including Sitia and Mylopotamos, and describes its oils as laboratory-tested. Individual product pages provide the variety, origin, and package size currently available.

The company also offers olive oils infused with lemon, orange, and Cretan herbs. Its website lists oregano, garlic, chili, thyme, and rosemary, extending the oil’s use beyond everyday cooking to marinades, vegetables, bread, and other dishes. The exact selection can change, so the online store is the best place to check current availability.

The catalog also includes olives, herb-seasoned olives, thyme honey, olive-oil soaps, traditional marmalade, and other island products. The range brings together pantry staples and items that can also make food-oriented gifts. Cretoikos offers wholesale sales and presents customized corporate gift sets as another option.

Cretoikos highlights laboratory certification for its oils and lists awards received by its EVOO. The company says it won second prize in the medium-fruitiness category at the Mario Solinas Quality Award in Madrid in 2005, followed by another second prize at World Food in Moscow in 2008. The brand cites these distinctions when describing the quality of its oils.

The store advertises international shipping and online order tracking. Wholesale sales offer a separate channel for professional buyers; for businesses, the brand proposes customized olive-oil gift sets for clients, teams, or celebrations. Shipping terms, order quantities, and the contents of each set can be checked in the store or with the sales team.

The website also invites visitors to learn about the olive grove and describes a tasting experience connected to the oil’s place of origin. Anyone hoping to make this part of a visit should check availability and arrangements in advance. The company lists its address in Hani Alexandrou, in the Rethymno area, and weekday hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the online store remains its main order channel.

For shoppers looking for olive oil from Crete, Cretoikos brings together varieties from different areas, traditional products, and options for personal or wholesale orders. Its catalog makes it possible to compare EVOO by origin and style, from unflavored oils to blends with citrus or herbs. Product details and order tracking help complete the experience without requiring an in-person visit.
