Compare the exact oil and container

The oil catalogue lists family-oil 5 L and 17 L formats, Mythos organic oil, and Chrysopigi Monastery 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L and 3 L formats. These are different products and sizes, not a shared certification. It also carries lemon, garlic, basil, truffle and spiced oils. Ask which plain extra-virgin oil and origin label are on the bottle you intend to buy, and confirm availability and packing for your journey.

Keep the wider Cretan grocery visit

The operator says Cretan Corner has operated since 2003 and identifies both its physical Maleme shop and online store. Beyond its own oil, it selects local-producer foods: herbs, spice blends, dairy, handmade spoon sweets and jams, thyme honey, wine, tsikoudia and other drinks. Gift baskets and olive-oil-based cosmetics are separate parts of the range. Confirm chilled-food transport, ingredients, shipping and any gift assembly rather than assuming every item is shelf-stable or suitable for every destination.

Planning questions

Is every oil in the shop plain or organic?

No. The catalogue separates products from different producers and includes flavoured oils. Read the exact label.

Can I rely on a 17 L format for flight luggage?

Confirm its container, total weight, packing and transport arrangements. Online availability does not establish airline acceptance.
