With absolute respect for our Cretan heritage
Our goal is to create a spirit
Many years ago, our house where we were born and grew up was one of the many factories (olive mill) in the village that belonged to our great-grandparents. When our house was rebuilt a few years ago, the old millstone that was buried in the ground was rediscovered during the excavations.
History hereby proves that our family has been growing olives and producing extra virgin olive oil for generations before in this region. The name of the olive oil thus consists of the words earth (Gaia) of the village of Mochos in Crete, an area full of history and one of the richest traditions and cultures of olive oil in the world.
Furthermore, we are also engaged in the tourism sector for already several years by offering rooms for rent in our private holiday apartments Sunshine in Stalis, Crete, Greece. The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which began in 2020, gave us the opportunity to rethink and reconsider our health and lifestyle, our diet, our healthy eating, our lifestyle habits and to arrange with it even closer. So the idea arose to deal with the Cretan Diet, the key element of which, as global and international studies show, is Cretan olive oil. In doing so, our own olive oil Mochos Gaia is perfectly applicable.
