01 — Origin
One place.
One family.
Most olive oil on a supermarket shelf is a blend — oil from several countries, mixed to hit a price. Ours isn’t. Every bottle comes from a single family’s groves in the Kalamata region of the Peloponnese, where mineral-rich soil and Mediterranean sun have grown olives for millennia.

02 — Harvest
Picked by hand,
pressed by dawn.
Each November, families across the region rise before first light to comb the branches by hand, so the fruit is never bruised. The olives are cold-extracted within hours of picking — no heat, no chemicals — because everything that makes this oil worth drinking begins to fade the moment it leaves the tree.

03 — Analysis
Tested,
not just described.
Every batch is analysed by certified Greek laboratories. Free acidity comes back at 0.25% — well under the 0.8% ceiling that defines extra virgin — and total polyphenols at 511 mg/kg. Those two numbers are the honest shorthand for freshness and character, and we’ll always publish them.
