Mighty fine
extra virgin olive oil

Our Ethos

We farm organically and integrate regenerative 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 early in the season while the olives are still unripe for premium quality.

We take care to avoid damaging the fruit during the harvest. At the mill we cold press them within 24 hrs to preserve nutritional and phenolic values.

We package our olive oil in stainless steel containers and store them in a cool, dry and dark environment to preserve quality.

We want our customers to experience our oil at it's best. We advise to buy when fresh and to use dark or ceramic bottles.

The olive tree has been growing in the Peloponnese for four thousand years. It outlasted the Mycenaeans who first cultivated it, the Spartans who fought over the plains around it, and the Ottomans who taxed its fruit. It will outlast us too.

In 2022, Felicity and Nina bought an abandoned grove near Karpofora in Messinia — a village whose name simply means "the land that bears fruit" — and began the work of bringing it back to life. The grove looks out over the Messenian Gulf, from land that Homer named in the Iliad over three thousand years ago, offered by a king to one of the greatest warrior who ever lived. Here we produce our Kalamata Reserve extra virgin olive oil, from the Koroneiki olive famed for its nutritional and health benefits.

Our second grove is in Kato Doliana in Arcadia — in the ancient Thyreatis plain, in the shadow of Mount Parnon, on land where people have pressed olive oil since before recorded history. This grove has been passed down through generations of our family, with huge trees bearing fruits from different types of olives. Here we produce a delicious blend which we call Arcadian Gold.

Two landscapes. Two very different oils.

The mighty olive has stood and borne fruit since antiquity, sustaining life and providing livelihoods. We now take our turn in a very long line of people who have cared for these trees. For us that means farming the way the land asks us to. We are not just producing oil — we are returning these trees to the productive, living ecosystems they were always part of.

It also means taking the craft seriously. Olive oil production is a deep and exacting art, and we are immersed in learning it — the timing of the harvest, the handling of the fruit, the cold pressing, the chemistry of quality. Every harvest we understand more. Every batch we are prouder of. That is the standard we are working towards: an olive oil worthy of the land it comes from.
