OLIVE OIL ESTATE
EVOOLUTION |
An olive estate situated in a historic olive triangle |
All our olive oils come from the GreekPeloponnese region, famous since antiquity for the quality of its olives and olive oil.
Our premium extra virgin olive oil, Olive Origin©, is produced in our family-owned olive groves on a fertile, triangular-shaped plateau, around 500 metres above sea level, situated between ancient Trizina, Kranidi and Epidaurus, ideally suited for olive growing.
These factors contribute to the health and resilience of the olive trees, without the need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides: our olive groves have always been cultivated with natural, environmentally-friendly methods, whether or not officially organically-certified.
The resulting olive oil is of superior quality, a naturally clear green-golden color, richly aromatic olive oil and high in nutritional values.

OLIVE PRESS
From generations of traditional knowledge to modern technological expertise.
In our quest to produce the best possible olive oil: to the ingredients of traditional, natural cultivation methods and healthy olive varieties we must also add the contribution of modern technology to olive oil production methods.
Our state of the art olive press is environmentally-friendly and has been constructed in full accordance with international standards and certifications. It may come as a surprise to know that there are many different types of olive presses, both traditional and modern, each of which may have subtle and not so subtle effects on the quality of the olive oil.
Olives need to be picked at just the right time and, once picked, with exposure to air and light, they quickly begin to deteriorate in a process known as oxidation. We combine technology with methodology and guarantee consistently high quality results.
