Our Founding Story

Cold ExtractedThe precious oil is extracted very shortly after the fruit is cut from the tree. Absolutely no chemicals or heat are used during the process so as to preserve all valuable nutrients. |
Vegan & VegetarianOur production process is 100% animal-free so you can pour to your heart’s delight knowing that our beloved animals can enjoy licking up our oil as much as we do. |
Koroneiki Olive VarietyThis variety is cultivated around the Western Peloponnese and is known for its high quality and aromatic oil. Its characteristic “green” taste is internationally renowned and perfectly complements most foods. |
Hand HarvestedWe harvest the olives in October/November when the fruits are still yellowish/green in color. Although this gives a very low and costly yield of around 10%, it helps us achieve our desired very high antioxidant levels and delicious, medium intensity taste. |
Our Sustainable Approach
✔ Mindfully Sourced All of our olives come from either our private groves or other small, family run farms. We strive to maintain the traditional olive groves that have been a part of the Greek landscape for thousands of years and not destroy them to replace with super high density groves.
✔ Consciously Crafted Absolutely no chemicals are used during the process of extracting the oil from the fruit, a procedure which is accomplished through the use of centrifugal force (gravity).
✔ Cruelty Free Our sense of responsibility, care and respect for the earth encompasses all creatures, big and small, that live on it; it is our mission to help and protect them.
✔ Organic Methods We go to great lengths to ensure that all of our extra virgin olive oils are free from harmful pesticides.
✔ Plant Protection and Nurturing We use organic compost instead of chemical fertilizers for our family groves. Also, we never use organophosphate pesticides in order to control the olive fly, but instead only fly traps with natural deterrents, such as natural talc and sugar water.
