“esti” OLIVE OIL : in the soil & soul of greeks

TRADITION More than any other Greek product, olive oil has become synonymous not only with the Greek tradition but also with the Greek nutritional habits and culture. The Greeks have always considered the olive tree to be sacred, since antiquity. Ever since, according to the myth, Athena, goddess of wisdom, offered to the citizens of Athens -the city that’s been named after her- the olive tree, as well as the know-how for its growing cultivation. By that time, the olive oil tree was considered to be a symbol of peace and victory, a source of good health and longevity, a symbol of divine protection, faith, hope and love and a sacred gift of inspiration and creation…

OLIVE OIL has found in Greece its favorite place. Every drop of Greek οlive oil is distilled knowledge and wisdom. Olive growing in Greece, started mostly on small family estates, where a particular relationship is built between the olive growers and the olive trees, with respect and care as predominant features. It is a loving relationship that bears precious fruits.
