Moving on to local products now, there’s another export for which Thassos is renowned … the throuba olive, a medium-sized, high-quality olive that makes excellent low-acidity extra-virgin olive oil with large amounts of antioxidants and a great colour, aroma and flavour. Local olive oil will accompany your every meal in Thassos and you can pick up a bottle to take home in shops all around the island. But to learn more about Thassos’ famous product and really understand the relationship of the island with the ancient fruit, visit the Sotirelis Olive Oil Mill in Panagia. It was founded in 1915 and was still operating in 2007, after which it was turned into a working museum.
