There’s something profound about olive trees—they are resilient, sturdy, and practically immortal, just like the traditions they represent. Over the decades, these trees have gifted us one of the most extraordinary treasures of nature: olive oil. And for us, nothing compares to the richness and purity of extra virgin olive oil.
Our family olive grove is over 50 years old—a testament to tradition, care, and continuity. This land has been nurtured for three generations, beginning with our grandfather Giorgos and later by our father Savvas. Their dedication to these trees laid the foundation for what we cherish and strive to elevate today.
Almost two years ago, we decided to elevate our olive oil, produced from our family olive grove just down the road. Our goal was ambitious: to create an Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) that met the highest standards, complete with all relevant health claims and certifications.
While we’ve always been close to the land, we knew this journey required additional expertise. That’s why we partnered with the skilled team at Aparthenasa. With their guidance, we adopted regenerative agriculture methods to produce terroir-driven Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
And now, the moment has arrived. After a long wait, the chemical analysis is in, and we’re thrilled to share the news: we’ve done it. Introducing the first batch of Salt & Fire EVOO! This high-phenolic, low-acidity oil proudly meets EU standards. With a total of 1500 mg/kg of oleocanthal and oleacein and an acidity of just 0.34%, these are the defining characteristics that make us proud.
Of course, taste is paramount, especially given our gastronomic and terroir-focused approach to olive oil. Salt & Fire EVOO Coupage Natural is fruity, spicy, and herbaceous, with aromas and notes that truly reflect the Koroneiki variety, which makes up 90% of our olive grove.
We are thrilled to share that 400 bottles of Salt and Fire EVOO will be released for purchase starting in early February. In the meantime, we’re excited to offer exclusive pre-orders so you can be among the first to experience this exceptional product.
