Why Choose These Olive Biscuits

  • Baked in a traditional wood-fired oven for authentic flavor and texture
  • Made with extra virgin olive oil, wine, olive pieces, and wild oregano
  • No industrial processing or commercial packaging interventions
  • 260g package delivers genuine Cretan culinary heritage

  • Versatile snack for everyday enjoyment or entertaining guests
  • Crafted by Xilofournos Mistrakis using traditional methods

Ingredients & Craftsmanship

Each biscuit combines simple, quality ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, wine, chopped olive pieces, and wild oregano. The dough is shaped by hand and baked slowly in a wood-fired oven, allowing the natural sugars to caramelize gently and the olive notes to develop complexity. The result is a savory biscuit with a subtle crunch and layers of Mediterranean flavor.

The use of a traditional xylofoúrnos (wood oven) imparts a characteristic warmth and slight smokiness that cannot be replicated in modern ovens. This method preserves both flavor integrity and the rustic appearance that defines artisanal Cretan baking. Each batch reflects the care and skill of the baker, ensuring consistency in taste while honoring regional tradition.
