THE REASON FOR OUR PRODUCT’S NAME IS THE FACT THAT OUR
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL ORIGINATES FROM A VILLAGE
IN CRETE CALLED ST.JOHN’S.
(ST. JOHN’S / Agios Ioannis) is a village of Lasithi prefecture, in the municipality of Ierapetra, Crete, Greece.)
FOR CENTURIES THE NATIVES HAVE BEEN CULTIVATING OLIVE GROVES AND PRESSING OLIVES
FOR THEIR OWN SURVIVAL AND CONSUMPTION.
WITHIN THE COURSE OF THE YEARS THE VILLAGE OF
ST. JOHN’S HAS MANAGED TO OBTAIN AN OUTSTANDING REPUTATION FOR PRODUCING THE FINEST OLIVE OIL IN GREECE AS WELL AS WORLDWIDE.
IT WAS A PROUD MOMENT FOR US WHEN THE WORLD BECAME FAMILIAR WITH THE QUALITY AND SUPERIORITY OF OUR EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA.
WE WERE GLAD TO SEE THAT THE OLIVE OIL WE HAD BEEN PRODUCING WITH LOVE AND CARE FOR CENTURIES HAD BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY.
IT WAS SAID THAT THE HEALTH AND PROLONGED LIFE OF THE CRETAN PEOPLE WAS DUE TO THEIR CONSUMPTION OF OLIVE OIL, WHICH WAS A SIMPLE PRODUCT, THAT THEY TOOK FOR GRANTED.
THE CRETAN VILLAGERS WOULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED A MEAL THAT DID NOT CONTAIN OLIVE OIL IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER.
SO WE INVITE YOU TO TASTE THIS SUPERB PRODUCT THAT OUR ANCESTORS LEFT BEHIND FOR YOU AND US TO ENJOY.
