Item Description

A package to delight the palate comprised of 3 bottles of olive oil (Silver Medal Winner in the 2005 International Olive Oils of the World Competition) and 3 boxes of traditional Greek cookies.

Taste of Crete Extra Virgin Olive Oil - The handpicked Koroneiki olives are pressed immediately in order not to lose quality or its exceptional flavor. This provides for the extremely low acidity level of 0.3% and gives the palate a mild peppery taste as it contains a high level of anti-oxidants. Taste of Crete carries the "PDO" (Protected Designation of Origin) seal. This is a highly coveted European Union recognition of its exceptional quality and that the cultivation and processing of the oil are done in the traditional manner in the Sitia region of Crete. It is based on the concept of "terroir" which holds that the flavor and other unique qualities of a traditionally made food are formed through a complex interaction of soil, plant life, climate and centuries-old production methods that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Evangelia's Traditional Greek Cookies are healthy cookies that contain No trans fats, No cholesterol, No eggs or butter and No preservatives. They have a lovely fragrance and delicate flavor. Ingredients: unbleached wheat flour, extra virgin olive oil, white wine, sugar, orange juice, sesame seeds, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon.
