]]> Olive oil is a unique product and many factors affect olive oil quality. The health of the fruit, the cultural techniques, and the time of the harvest are only some crucial parameters affecting both sensory and nutritional characteristics of olive oil, among many others. Each cultivar has its own unique taste characteristics which can be discovered only in fresh, unblended and well preserved extra virgin olive oil. Simply pour a table spoon of olive oil in a small glass and feel the Mediterranean on your taste buds!

WHY TRADITIONAL OLIVE GROWTHS ARE SO IMPORTANT

The olive tree is emblematic of the Mediterranean region. These plants colonized our environment centuries ago and showed a rare ability to adopt to many and sometimes severe environmental conditions. To protect centuries-old olive groves, we need to showcase their importance for the Mediterranean ecosystem.

Olive groves are self-reliant.

Olive groves grow mostly on inclined, shallow and low fertility soils on hand made stone terraces, have limited watering requirements and sustain the fragile natural resources of the Mediterranean. The groves consist of a small number of olives per hectare allowing the trees to grow freely getting sun and air without limitations. We believe in this freedom.

Olives’ Little Helpers.

Shrub edges, dry stone walls and woodland strips are structural elements of centuries-old olive groves. These agro-ecosystems are very supportive of the biodiversity as numerous flora and fauna species are related to these semi-wild rural areas. The beginging of freedom is diversity.

Olive groves are friendly.

Some bird species use the trunks of the trees for nesting.

Olive groves are good.

Traditional olive groves can be characterized as having high environmental value to regional ecosystems.
