It was in 2020 where I realized I needed to follow my true passion and make my dream a reality
From a young age I was always involved in the cultivating of olive trees. In 1994 I planted the first 500 olive trees, half Koroneiki and half Cypriot ladoelia.
I now have reached 3000 olive trees in my grove. It was in 2020 where I realized I needed to follow my true passion and make my dream a reality. A new and synchronized bottling unit was built. This is where the olive oil is stored, bottled, labeled and packaged for selling.
People can come and taste our olive oil products and tour around our estate. We also produce homemade olive jams with unique flavors, olive paste and olive liqueur.
I plan to extend onto my existing building to add a mill so that I can press my own olives on site
I plan to extend onto my existing building to add a mill so that I can press my own olives on site and I would like to increase my production by planting another 2000 olive trees.
Even though we want to become bigger I firmly believe in gaining the best quality instead of quantity. We hope every home has a bottle of extra virgin olive oil because as the Prophet said: ‘Eat olive oil, for it comes from a blessed tree’.
