FROM GROVE TO BOTTLE

As an agent against global warming,
olive trees remove more carbon dioxide out of the
atmosphere than is emitted during olive oil production  

Our millenial olive trees

All of our olive trees are like family to us: 

The young ones, the mature ones and the proud old ones – some estimated to be 2000 years old – will be here for our children’s children.

Nothing but nature goes into
our olive oils

We don’t interfere with nature, we work with it. 

Natural techniques keep our trees healthy:

  • Pruned branches, leaves and twigs are separated from the olives during harvesting, and are composted to create natural fertilizer.
  • Grazing animals clear weeds between the trees, providing more natural fertilizer.
  • Natural insect traps instead of harmful pesticides.

Purity, quality, organic

All our olive oils undergo strict testing for undesirable residues. The reason is simple: it’s healthier, and our olive oil tastes better. 

So why seek official organic certification? Consumers who choose certified-organic produce are looking for extra reassurance that these products do not contain harmful substances.

In response to this consumer demand, we collaborate with up to 500 certified-organic small olive groves in our region, and over 50% of Vassilakis Estate olives are under conversion to be fully certified-organic in 2025.  

 

100% sustainable

From grove to bottle, we are environmentally-conscious:

  • Our olive mill runs on 100% solar energy, annually producing more clean, renewable energy than it consumes.
  • Surplus olive material is added to our natural aerobic compost, which is made up of olive leaves, twigs and pips.
  • Used water is recycled onto our organic orchard and vegetable garden
  • All our bottles and containers are fully recyclable.
