One Root
In Crete we are strongly tied with our olives or, as we tend to call them, our roots. We identify the trees’ roots with our family, it’s where we come from. They represent our history and our future. In our sunny olive groves, which “inhale” the breeze of the Cretan Sea, we give all our love and passion to produce the Extra Virgin Cretan Olive Oil “One Root”. A name inspired by that first root, the first olive tree our family planted.
About Producer
The grandfather of the family may have planted the first olive trees in our olive grove, but this place, which still offers us its best natural products, has its own distant history since the 10th century AD. It was Nikiforos Fokas, who brought his courageous fighters to Chania and provided this rich land. It was a symbolic reward for achieving Crete’s independence from the Saracens and its return to Byzantine, but also for constantly protecting it from new Arab invasions. One of these inspiring fighters was Hairetis, the ancestor of the Hairetakis family. The family’s coat-of-arms of 981 AD. testifies its Byzantine origin and the history of this place, which fills us with pride.
