With the current climate in Greece, what better way to help boost the economy than to buy Greek products. With Creta Farms’ Extra Virgin Olive Oil now on the Australian market, you can do just that.

Homer called extra virgin olive oil “liquid gold” and Hippocrates called it a “great cure”. Extra virgin olive oil is a staple to the Greek diet, the Mediterranean diet, and gives a warmth and shine to any dish. Creta Farms’ famed extra virgin olive oil is now available in Australia due to an agreement formed with exporter Agora Merchandising Group. Having these products available, the Australian table can share in the Cretan diet.

President of Creta Farms, Emmanouil Domazakis said “we are proving that we continue our dynamic entrance on the overseas markets. The Commonwealth of Australia represents a real invitation to Creta Farms as we are addressing a developing market of approximately 30 million people”.

Creta Farms was formed in 1970 in Crete, to create a journey in taste that takes you beyond the borders of Greece. Using its tools in innovation, the company has fused authentic Cretan olive oil with their deli lines to create unique flavours and tastes. The company is the largest group in the meat and deli meats sector in Greece. The deli meat market was revolutionised in Greece with their En Elladi range which saw them substitute animal fat with their extra virgin olive oil. In 2006, Creta Farms launched its Combi range which, for the first time, saw cheese and deli meats packaged together for a convenient meal idea.

Creta Farms and Agora Merchandising Group aim to have the full range of Creta Farms products available in Australia in the not too distant future. Paul Illiopoulos, marketing director, Agora Merchandising Group said what Creta Farms does is an “amazing concept”.

“We are certain that the whole of Australia and not only the Greek community will embrace Creta Farms products and their Extra Virgin Olive Oil. All these products are of the best taste and quality that this Mediterranean island, Crete, has to offer.”
