Tera Creta

On the 26^th of September we visited the Tera Creta olive oil Company placed in Kolymvari, Chania. First we went to the olive trees field where the tour guide talked to us about how they grow, cultivate and harvest the olives. Next we learnt how they separate the olives from the trees and then we went to the lab where we saw how they test the olives’ quantity, acidity  and quality. 

After that they told us about the extraction of the olive oil through a milling process which is separated in to two categories, the normal and the bio olive oil extraction. Finally we went to bottling section of the factory where they talked about the packaging process and then we tasted the produced olive oil and the olives.
