A Healthy Bite of Crete

By removing animal fat and replacing it with Cretan extra-virgin olive oil, Creta Farms Gourmet Deli Meats boosts the nutritional value of deli cuts. Patented in over 90 countries, the proprietary product preparation method additionally imparts a rich taste, according to Rethymno, Greece-based Creta Farms, whose turkey, ham and roast beef offerings have earned certification by the American Heart Association. The full line of deli meats, which are already well established at European grocers and delicatessens, includes oven-roasted turkey breast, hickory-smoked turkey breast, honey-roasted turkey breast, rotisserie-style turkey breast, Black Forest ham, honey-roasted ham, hardwood-smoked ham, extra-lean cooked ham, lightly seasoned roast beef and oven-roasted chicken breast. The company is currently developing extra-virgin olive oil-infused hot dogs, sausage and bologna.
