My SAFI kala olive oil is made exclusively from the Koroneiki variety of olives I grow myself near my village Kamilari, in Crete.

My olive oil is of Premium Quality:

 

• Extra Virgin: maximum 0.39% Acidity

After pressing the olives, the juice is just decanted, filtered, and bottled. My olive oil does not go through any other process.

 

• Cold Extraction

The rich flavour of the fruit is therefore fully preserved.

 

• Unique Aroma

Located in the Messara plain also known as “the fruit garden of Crete”, my olive trees are surrounded by citrus groves and wild aromatic herbs, which pass on their complex and rich flavours to my olive oil.

 

• Messara Plain Olives

My olive groves benefit from a privileged location, between the mountains and the sea, where the earth is naturally rich in minerals and trace elements. The European Union has been working on a P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) for the Messara Olive Oil, which is expected to be released as an official label in the near future.

 

• Naturally Grown Olives

I personally look after every one of my trees: I trim the branches in the late winter; I take care of the irrigation using the groundwater from the community; and I only use the manure from my farm animals (which are only fed naturally) to enrich the soils.
