Producer
Botzakis, operating under the Creta Oil brand, is a Cretan olive oil producer that combines local tradition with a structured, industrial approach to production. Established in the mid-1980s and based in Alagni in the Heraklion region, the company has developed a vertically integrated system that includes processing, bottling, and distribution.
Its core focus is extra virgin olive oil produced mainly from the Koroneiki variety, which is dominant on the island and known for delivering stable quality and a pronounced fruity profile. The company sources olives from both its own groves and a network of partner producers, particularly in areas such as Peza, ensuring consistency in raw material quality.
Production is carried out under controlled conditions aimed at preserving low acidity and the sensory characteristics of the oil. The portfolio also includes oils with protected designation of origin such as PDO Sitia and PDO Selino, reflecting a clear link to specific Cretan terroirs.
Botzakis operates modern facilities with multiple bottling lines and the capacity to supply both branded and private label products for international markets. Its operations are certified according to international food safety and quality standards, including systems aligned with ISO and organic production requirements.
