olive oil collection

Did you know?...

The latin word for olive, oleum, consists of two notions: the Cretan word "elaeva" which means olive and the semitic "ulu".

In spanish language the term "aceite" derives from the arab word for olive, al zaytun. "Oliva" in spanish language means only the olive tree, not the olive itself.

Zafeirakos Family's Olive Groves

The owner of the olive groves, Zafeiris Zafeirakos, has an experience of 25 years in cultivating olive groves and producing extra virgin olive oil. The olives are collected by a reliable and harmonically cooperating team and are directly sent to the oil-factory for processing.  For this reason the produced oil is of excellent quality. The oil comes from groves in Laconia and more precisely in Gythion and it has 0-0.8 degrees of acidity.

The preparation of the table olives is managed exclusively by himself with his personal care and taste. The olives are kept in special barrels until they become ready. Afterways they are placed in smaller vases for selling.
