The olive oil, used in the Cretan Garden soaps, is from Felea Goods, Crete.
“The palette of exquisite virgin olive oils of FeleaGoods® is completed with two special proposals: the protected designation of origin (PDO) olive oils of Sitia and North Mylopotamos.
They originate from different regions of Crete with different climate and soil texture; however they do share a common characteristic: they are produced by locals with PDO certification who follow the traditional local methods of cultivation and picking of the olives.” Source
