A mighty fine
extra virgin olive oil

Discover The Mighty Olive's Essence

Our extra virgin olive oil is full-bodied, with an intense fruity aroma, a peppery finish and a touch of bitterness which comes from the high polyphenol content. Over time the flavours mellow leaving a smooth and balanced oil with spicy undertones

Our Story

In 2022 Felicity & Nina bought an abandoned olive grove in Messinia, home of the famous Kalamata olive. It is located on the edge of a small village called Karpofora which translates as the land that "bears fruit". Our 350 trees enjoy the majestic view of Taygetos mountain range and the Messinian sea.

Over the past 2 years we have taken care of the land and the trees, bringing them back into life. We have doubled the productivity of the land from 900 kilos to 1.8 tonnes of extra virgin olive oil. We are now working to maximise its full potential of over 3 tonnes.

Our Ethos

We cultivate our olives organically and apply regenerative farming practices to rebuild soil health and restore biodiversity.

We do this by limiting soil disturbance, planting green manures and leaving areas wild as habitat for pollinators.

We harvest our fruits early in the season while they are still unripe. We harvest by hand to avoid damaging the fruits.

We cold press them at 27C within 24 hrs to preserve nutritional and phenolic values.

We package our olive oil in 5 litre stainless steel containers. We keep them in a cool and dark environment to preserve quality.

We ship our products with specialist companies who make sure they get to your door in perfect condition.

Why is Koroneiki olive oil so special?

We take care of our olive trees and harvest our olives in the same way that families in Greece have been doing for generations. In Kalamata the Koroneiki olive thrives in the climatic and soil conditions, producing an exceptional olive oil.
