Guest22 June 2016Olive oil price of taste to distinguish between Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the bad was amazing. Also learned how important the Cretan diet was, not to mention how good Terra Cretas product is, and they have won many awards. The course was very useful and I recommend others to participate. Now I understand the difference between good and bad olive oil
