As a global Greek brand
the more we grow and reach people, we have a social responsibility, ! we want to reach them beyond their palate, we want to intrigue the mind, helping them create memories that will last forever and give them a sense of belonging.
The Greek terrain is 80% mountainous, this means that cultivating olives is much harder than other countries that produce olives, this is great for our consumers as in Greece we still hand pick our olives, however it is difficult on an industrial level, it is therefore important to support small farmers in order to keep this tradition alive.....
All the above starts from here and ends here, it isn't enough to be natural, sustainable and regenerative, our frontrunner vision is flavour, this comes first and we create our products as if we made them in our home kitchen, in fact that's exactly how we start...
