Greece is one of the oldest olive growing countries in the world.
Quality olive oil, like wine, varies from year to year and depends on many factors.
That's why our mission and goal is to produce high quality olive oil with every harvest and make it available to our customers.
Every country, every region and even a village can and has its own history and its own olive varieties that have developed naturally there.
Welcome to our region of Halkidiki, the birthplace of the world-famous green Halkidiki olive and the birthplace of the great philosopher Aristotle.
80% of the population of Halkidiki is involved in the cultivation and products of olives.
Our village of Metaggitsi in Sithonia is famous in the region as the “Olive Oil Village” of Halkidiki!
For generations, the village has cultivated the lokal olive variety “Galani”, that 90% from which olive oil is primarily produced. You find this variety only in the area of Metaggitsi. The rest of the prefecture cultivates the “Halkidiki Olive”, from which 90% of its production is for eating olives.
