With over 150 years of tradition, Cretan Mill is a tale of enduring passion for the art of olive oil. Our journey began in 1866, when the Almpantakis family commenced producing authentic Cretan extra virgin olive oil in the serene area of Kalessa, near Heraklion.

Today, Cretan Mill stands as a reputable olive oil bottling and trading company, upholding profound respect for the Cretan Land and utilizing pure raw materials that guarantee unparalleled quality in our products. As a proud member of Almpantakis Group of Companies, we boast modern bottling facilities, privately-owned olive oil mills, state-of-the-art technology, a team of skilled personnel, and an in-house chemistry laboratory. As one of the leading olive oil companies, our unwavering goal is to craft authentic Cretan extra virgin olive oil of remarkable quality and exceptional nutritional value.

Recognising the importance of olive oil in the Mediterranean diet's health benefits, we emphasise the significance of fresh vegetables, fruits, and extra virgin olive oil for optimal well-being and longevity. At Cretan Mill, we treat our raw material with utmost care, handling the precious fruit of the olive tree with responsibility and reverence. With a vertically integrated approach, we ensure a product "from the field to the shelf," guaranteeing top quality and a seamless journey to the final consumer.

Our diverse product portfolio includes extra virgin, virgin, organic, aromatic, multi-flavored, and pomace olive oil, presented in an array of eye-catching packaging with various brands to satisfy diverse palates. Committed to excellence, our company is certified with the quality assurance systems of ISO22000, IFS, and BRC, consistently adhering to the European Union and World Council of Olive Oil specifications.

Our dedication to quality has garnered numerous national and international awards, such as the SUPERIOR TASTE AWARD iTQi 2023 (2 stars for "Agrelia"), Gold and Silver Awards in the GREEK EXPORTS AWARDS 2021, and the Bronze Award in the LOS ANGELES IOOC 2019 competition, among others.

Today, our product collection not only thrives in Greece but also journeys across the globe, reaching the U.S.A., Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and beyond. With a focus on continual investments, our ambition is to make our products available in every corner of the world. At Cretan Mill, we take pride in sharing the quintessential essence of Cretan gastronomy and the Mediterranean diet with people worldwide.
