Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Lesvos

The story:

·     Lesvos, the third biggest island of Greece, is known since antiquity for its self-sufficiency, wealth and philosophy. A major role in its wealth played the quality of the olive oil produced in the millions of olive trees there.

 Our grandfathers and grandmothers gathered olives in the mountains of Gera for centuries, something that helped them survive through wars and managed to pass the love of the land and the tradition to us. It is a harsh ground to work in yet the superb quality justifies the hardships of it all.

We continue an unbroken chain of olive farmers that date back seven generations.
