Our exquisite single variety and single estate organic extra virgin olive oil is produced from the famous Koroneiki olive on the south coast of Cyprus. Organic production methods are used for this smooth olive oil, without the use of pesticides or fertilisers.
The olives are handpicked and taken directly to the olive mill only a few miles away, where they are cold pressed during the same day of harvest. Only one pressing of the olives occurs, unlike some mass produced oils which are re-pressed multiple times in order to extract as much as possible. This causes the acidity to rise and results in much lower quality, flavour and nutrition in the oil. The olive oil is bright green in colour and very aromatic. It has a fresh fruity flavour with a slight peppery finish on the palate.
Handpicking our olives means we pay greater attention to the olives that are used in the production of our olive oil. This is important as we only select the olives that will give our extra virgin olive oil the best flavour, and leave behind any that may be rotten or not yet ripe for pressing. Another benefit of handpicking is the care that is taken when plucking the olives from the tree, unlike mechanical methods that bruise the olives during harvest and causes the oil to become more acidic.
It is best used raw over fish, vegetables and fresh salads as the main ingredient of a Mediterranean salad dressing. The fresh herby flavour also makes this great as a bread dipper.
Cyprus is a small island, but it shapes its food in a unique way. Strong sun, dry soil, and a constant sea breeze. Ingredients don’t grow easily, but when they do, they carry depth, character, and are dense in essential nutrients.
Honey was at the centre of it. Not just as a product, but as something alive, complex and already complete in its natural form. We don’t try to change that. We build on it. By combining raw honey with natural, unprocessed ingredients, superfoods, superfruits, herbs, and spices, we enhance what is already there, adding layers of flavour and nutritional value without taking anything away.
That’s where our belief comes from; food, when left unprocessed and as nature intended, serves its original purpose better, nourishing the body with what it actually needs to live a healthy, balanced, and happy life. We believe food doesn’t need to be engineered, it needs to be respected. We don’t heat our honey. We don’t strip ingredients down. We don’t alter their natural structure.
We continue to work close to the land, using real ingredients from our region, respecting their nature, and keeping our processes as minimal as possible. We’re not trying to reinvent food. We’re simply trying to keep it real.

Ordered three 1 litre cans of organic extra virgin olive oil which arrived promptly and were well packaged (although 1 can did arrive slightly dented). In the box were sample packets of lemon verbena, hibiscus and marigold teas, along with details of the company’s raw honey, whiz was a nice touch. Looking forward to using the oil …
