Midday July,
even if there weren’t olive groves
I would have invented them…

The olive tree – the gift of gods to humans. A source of life, associated with the Mediterranean light.
It is the symbol of peace, wisdom, victory, fertility and longevity.

For us Greeks, olive oil is more than just an ingredient in our kitchen – it is our tradition, our myths, our stories, our memories, the smell and taste of our lives.

Our Process of Olive Oil Making
Olive trees are by nature a hardy, tough plant that can grow in places with low fertility ground or poor conditions. However, in climates such as the Mediterranean, where temperature variations are mild and the sunlight exposure is high, olive trees thrive.In our groves, we have strategically planted the trees to specific locations in order for every tree to get the maximum sunlight exposure, protecting it from cold winter winds and allowing water to get absorbed by the ground naturally, without creating any puddles.
