Olive variety

A traditional blend of olives grown exclusively on the island of Samos. • 90% Koroneiki – known for its rich aroma, high antioxidants and vibrant flavor. • 10% Throumboulia – a rare local Greek variety that adds softness and balance.

Origin

Our olive oil comes from Koumeika on the island of Samos, Greece, where olive trees grow between the mountains and the Aegean Sea. The unique Mediterranean climate, mineral-rich soil, and sea breezes give the olives their distinctive character. Produced by the Markou family, a multi-generational olive oil producer, every bottle reflects the terroir and tradition of this small island.
