Our story has just begun… 

It’s well known that the Olive groves of Greece are the oldest in Europe. Our olive trees have been in the family for 4 generations,  located in the “Mani”region, in the Peloponnese area of Greece, in and around the village of Agios Georgios.

For the origin of the word “Mani” the views are many, but the one that has seemed to be widely accepted, is one in which the place name came from the word “Manu”,  which means sparse, bald and dry. These are the conditions that help to produce the distinct “Koroniki” olive.

 

Our family lived in the village and produced olive oil for 4 generations. Our grandmother Stavroula, was well known because she spent all her life alone, producing pure extra virgin olive oil just as her ancestors had done for centuries

Then our parents Ntinos & Marianthi inherited the groves and passed them to us, together with their passion and love for the place. And now the 3 sisters, Mado, Vana and Vicky, continue the tradition with our families.
