We are a small family business located on the island of Crete.
We produce organic monovarietal extra virgin olive oils. Our 2000 Koroneiki trees cover more than 18 hectares and are certified organic. Our olives are milled using the ancestral First Cold Pressed method in our olive mill situated at the heart of our land. Our mill was built on three floors to allow the oils to go from the production level to the storing tanks and finally to the bottling facility, using only the force of gravity.
We ensure top quality extra virgin olive oils year after year with sustainable and regenerative farming practices, careful and timely milling and artisanal bottling on the Estate. Since 2014, we also produce condiments of olive oil with lemon or orange zest and basil leaves. We produce these fruits and herbs around the olive mill and they are also free from pesticides and chemicals.
Visit our olive mill and taste our freshest organic extra virgin olive oils for a unique olive oil experience. In the summer 2022, we have added new activities and workshops for kids at the olive mill. Check them out if you are in Crete and your kids want to play, learn and have their own holiday
