Cretan Olive Oil Pot

It all started in 1995, when a fellow doctor asked us to help write a book about Crete and the Cretan diet. We worked together for two years and were rewarded when Dr. Schleicher's book "Der sensationelle Kreta Diet" became a bestseller! As a result, Chef Eckart Witzigmann asked for an introduction to the secrets of Cretan cuisine.For almost two months, Cretan women from Vrouha, Kritsa, Lemnes and other nearby villages spent many hours with us teaching the chef their knowledge of the local cuisine. The book, entitled "Kreta kock Buch" was published eight months later. The result was again as amazing as Dr. Schleicher's book, becoming a bestseller and showing a different aspect of the Cretan diet. Many people started asking how they could get all the pure products described. The next step was to step back and rediscover the original flavors, recipes and traditional products that our families used, to find a way to meet the needs we had created.
