FROM THE OLIVE TREE TO YOUR KITCHEN
Growing Kalamata Olives
"The Mediterranean peoples began to emerge from barbarism when they learned to cultivate the olive and the vine." — Julian

The harvest
While respecting millennia-old traditions, olives are harvested by hand in our olive groves in Kalamata, Greece. Once picked and sorted, they are placed in jute bags to be taken directly to the press in order to protect them from oxidation and to have them pressed the same day. In this way, we retain maximum aromas and obtain a superior quality olive oil.
After pressing, the oil is stored in 20-liter tinplate containers to facilitate transport. The oil is then sent to our workshop in Belgium to be packaged in the various formats we offer. Aware that the needs of professionals and households are changing, we also package our oil in Bag-in-Box to facilitate the consumer experience.

Pressing
Previously, olives were brought to the mill to be pressed using ancestral stones. Nowadays, the technique has evolved, and the olives are brought to the village's press, which complies with both food hygiene and environmental standards. We produce extra virgin olive oil from the first cold pressing.
