Our olive oil is produced from rain-fed olive trees of the unique ‘Choraitiki’ cultivar: local to our land, and exclusively found in the region of mountainous Arcadia.
The harvesting season starts around mid-October. We give special attention to the picking, so that the trees are not getting damaged and the olives are in good condition for the extraction of olive oil. Within 24 hours max. our crates have reached the mill. The green-ripe olives are getting extracted at under 27°C. This way we produce an olive oil with distinguishing aromas and flavours, rich in polyphenols, and other healthy nutrients.
The fresh olive oil is stored in stainless steel tanks, continuously supplied with nitrogen gas. We run tests regularly to make sure the quality of our olive oil stays impeccable.
We are aiming high in every stage of production. From the grove to the fine Cultura olive oil bottle, we are devoted to high standards of professional practice. Our trusted collaborators are like-minded professionals.
