Our work is in progress, since we are a young company, our target is not the profit but instead the great chance to share with you our superior organic olive oil.
We got almost 200 olive trees in Gargaliani. In our olive grove no fertilizers, pesticides or weed killers are used whatsoever.
Since 2007 we are certified BioHellas, the most important greek “Inspection and Certification body for organic products”.
The soil is fertilised with olive leaves retrieved from the olive mill and the olive trees are not watered.
The olive trees of the Koroneiki variety are perfectly adapted to the dry climate and rocky terrain. The fruits are very small, black and green and are very dense clusters on the branches. While the usual olive oil yield is approximately 10 liters per tree, in our cultivation the trees produce only 2 to 5 liters of the purest green extra virgin olive oil.
We deliberately sacrifice quantity to produce the best quality oil with a very light ecological footprint.
Harvest time is in November and December and the olives are pressed within 12 hours of harvesting to ensure very low acidity. Pressing takes place at 27 degrees Celsius so that the oil maintains its aroma and a large amount of polyphenols (natural antioxidants).
