A family grove in Ellinochori.
On the hills of Corinthia, at 300 metres, our family grows four Greek olive varieties and turns them into one oil with a character of its own.
The Zarkos family grove
Our family has tended this grove in Ellinochori, in the hills of Corinthia, for four generations. Some of the trees are older than any of us. They have outlived the hands that planted them, and they still give fruit every autumn.
We are Dimitris Zarkos and Evi Tsimpida. The year we met, we planted our first young olive trees together, not knowing yet what we were starting. Those trees are growing up alongside our family, and every harvest we can measure both.
When the olives are ready, everyone comes to the grove: nets on the ground, children running between the rows, lunch shared in the shade. The fruit reaches the mill within 24 hours of picking. From pruning to the moment the oil reaches you, we are there for every step.
Mountainous Corinthia is known for its vineyards. We want people to know its olive groves too, and to remind our neighbours how much this land is worth keeping.
Every bottle carries a little of our family’s table. We’re glad you’re sitting at it.
Four varieties, one estate
Koroneiki
The queen of Greek olives. Small fruit, intensely fruity, green and peppery.
Manaki
A traditional Peloponnesian variety, with a rounder, milder fruitiness.
Patrinia
Traditional in the northern Peloponnese, also known as Psiloelia.
Ladoelia
An old local variety of the Corinthian hills.
How our oil is made
From early November, while the olives are still green.
Leaves removed, olives carried in ventilated crates to protect the fruit.
Pressed within 24 hours of picking, without ever exceeding 27°C.
Kept in stainless steel tanks under nitrogen until bottling.
Every harvest tested: quality parameters and phenolic compounds.
Quality you can trace. A village that grows with us.
We manage every stage ourselves, from cultivation to extraction, and analyse every harvest — the certificate is yours on request.
We are preparing to open our grove to visitors and schools, so that more people see where good food comes from — and we work with local producers whenever we can.
A visitable estate in Ellinochori
We are preparing walking trails through the grove, an outdoor space for tastings and hands-on workshops, and a bottling room you can visit.
