Eleftheria Germanaki

Eleftheria Germanaki has graduated on Agronomy and currently she is the panel supervisor laboratory of Organoleptic Assessment of A.C.R of Rethymno and generally on Crete. Since 1986 she has been responsible of quality control of virgin oil and other agricultural products (as milk and grape) for the laboratory of A.C.R. In addition, since 2000, she has participated in numerous training seminars regarding the production of olive oil and was the head of the European Schemes on olive oil, organic farming and PDO. She supervised the education programs of farmers on how to produce quality olive oil, as well as supporting them “from field to shop” with environmentally friendly methods. Last but not least, she is a member of the panel of New York (NYIOOC), since its first edition and is a judge in competitions all over Greece. Germanaki considers olive oil a divine product that could “heal” the planet, not only financially, but in general. Olive oil, for a person who, like her, comes from a family of farmers with the tradition of olive oil production, has influenced her entire life, her studies and her passion for his work.
