About Us
At Filía Crete, we're more than just a business; we're a true friendship project. In Greek, "Filía" means friendship, and that's exactly what we're about. Two families, one shared passion: bringing you the finest extra virgin olive oil. Our journey takes you to the picturesque village of Zaros in Crete, where the flavours of our homeland meet the warmth of our friendship in every drop.
It all started with two lifelong friends, Manos and Stavros. Their story took an exciting turn when Manos met his Dutch girlfriend, Quienne, and decided to move to The Netherlands. With Stavros overseeing the olive oil production in Crete, Quienne and Manos dreamed of sharing the incredible tastes of Crete with the world. Just one year after settling in Amsterdam, Filía Crete came to life in the heart of the city.
Back at home in Crete, we've witnessed the effects of climate change firsthand. What was once a land of vineyards has transformed into olive groves in just a few decades. This change inspired us to treat our olive trees with the utmost respect for nature. Manos, armed with agricultural knowledge, implemented eco-friendly practices to ensure healthier and more productive trees.
After years in the business, Manos noticed how olive oil was often misused and blended with other oils for profit. We believe that olive oil should be as pure as possible, straight from the source to you dining table. At Filía Crete we assure you of a 100% authentic product sourced directly from our trees. And guess what? Liquid gold does not have to be expensive.
Our dream is simple: to bring authentic Greek products to the world. It all starts with our Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil. With Filía Crete, you're guaranteed the same incredible olive oil from the same trees year after year. Our priority is quality because you deserve the very best.
Join us on this journey of friendship, flavour, and purity. Taste the difference with Filía Crete - where every drop is a taste of Greece and a piece of our heart.
