We believe that the EVOO ‘ADELΦOS’ satisfies all the criteria as a healthy nutritional food.

TAP focus on small-medium business. They are friendly and easy to work with. Excellent service and reasonably priced.

Have we helped you overcome any challenges, and if so, how?

I am still learning so you are helping me all the time. Assistance from the team has been great. Returns are always completed on time.

What do you have planned for your business in future?

We plan to supplement our EVOO with a range of Healthy Food Cretan products.
