How An Expat In Crete Created A Website All About Olive Oil

It all began with an American living in Crete who was researching and writing about Greek olive oil business news for the online publication Olive Oil Times. Lisa Radinovsky, an English professor turned writer and photographer, searched in vain for a comprehensive, up-to-date English-language source on her topic. Struck by the Greeks’ use of olive oil in almost everything they cook or bake and impressed by Greeks’ efforts to produce, market, and export a high quality product in the midst of an economic crisis, she decided to create the information source she couldn’t find.
