10 Greek Superfoods Many Tourists Still Don’t Know About.

Greek olive oil is probably the country’s most famous superfood, and honestly, locals use it on almost everything. Salads, vegetables, fish, bread, pasta, potatoes — if it sits still long enough, olive oil may appear on top of it.

Crete, Kalamata, Lesvos, and Corfu produce excellent olive oils with different aromas and styles. High-quality Greek olive oil is rich in antioxidants and considered one of the foundations of the Mediterranean diet. Many village families still produce their own olive oil every year. If you ever get invited to try homemade olive oil with fresh bread and oregano, cancel your diet plans immediately.
