From the ancient ‘Linear B’ script meaning “Sacred”. This writing dates from the period 1750-1450 BC and was found in the Mycenaean palace of Pylos in Messinia, but also elsewhere in mainland Greece.   The company was created out of our love for nature and Greece, and in order to offer to even the most demanding of consumers Greek products of the highest quality. Our involvement in olive oil production began with a vision: to bring premium quality Greek olive oil to the world and establish it in the world consumer market.  

Our Olive Groves are growing at an altitude of between 350 and 600 meters in the mountainous triphylia of the Messinia Prefecture. This favors so that the fruit of the olives ripens in the appropriate microclimate in the region and gives excellent quality olive oil. Our concern with olive cultivation starts a century ago, almost to the day, when refugees from small Asia settled in Messinia and engaged in olive cultivation and olive oil production for their livelihood. 

The family now numbers three generations in privately owned olive groves over the age of 150 (old-age) with more than 5000 trees. Our love and our mold for olive oil and olive oil has brought us closer to being intensively involved in producing high-quality olive oil which is extremely virgin and organic.
