The Grove

Perched atop a hill near Pylos in the Peloponnese at 330 meters above sea level, our grove has been cared for through generations. Planted with the resilient Koroneiki variety, the trees thrive in the region’s crisp, sun-drenched air and limestone soils. The landscape and traditional cultivation—pruning, dry-stone terraces, and respect for seasonal rhythms—shape an oil that carries the character of its place: mineral, bright, and quietly powerful.

Harvest

Each early October, we harvest by hand, selecting only olives that are vividly green. This precise timing and careful hand-selection capture peak aromatic freshness and preserve the oil’s natural polyphenols. Fruit is taken immediately to the mill and cold-extracted within hours to maintain aromatics and clarity—yielding a fresh, herbaceous oil with a peppery, lingering finish.

Rich in Polyphenols

High-phenolic olive oil delivers both flavor and functional benefits. Phenolic compounds provide the bold, bitter-peppery notes prized by chefs and tasters, while also acting as powerful antioxidants that help protect the oil from oxidation—extending freshness and stability. Nutritionally, these compounds support cardiovascular health and possess anti-inflammatory properties. In short: higher phenolics mean more vibrant taste, longer shelf life, and enhanced health-promoting qualities.
