From our own grove

Our own olive oil

In the “Profitis Ilias” olive grove around our stone house on Mount Pelion stand more than 300 olive trees across 8,000 square metres in total, trees that were here long before we were: the Pelion olive, also known as the Amfissa olive or Volioti. Most of them are an estimated 150 to 200 years old, with a few younger ones among them that were replanted at some point. Since 2024, part of the grove has belonged to the family. We harvest what it carries ourselves – by hand, in autumn – and once a year it becomes our oil.

Nothing is sprayed: the trees grow without pesticides. The latest vintage came in at 0.2 % free acidity; the limit for extra virgin olive oil is 0.8 %.

Dirk and the grove

Since 2024, 4,000 square metres with more than 150 olive trees have belonged to the family. In autumn, Dirk turns their fruit into our olive oil together with our local olive farmer. The farmer keeps an eye on the trees all year round, prunes them and says when it is time to harvest. Then the nets go out and the olives are beaten from the branches; what lands in the nets goes into crates and on to the mill.

A good season yields around 250 litres. The trees give no more than that – and what ends up in the bottles is exactly that: grown without pesticides, pressed without additives.

From olive to oil

How our oil is made

Three short clips: the nets in the grove, the olives at the mill, and the moment the fresh oil runs out.

01Before the harvest the nets go down under the trees. Whatever comes off the branches lands in them.
02At the mill the olives travel across the shaker table. Leaves and twigs stay behind, the olives move on to be washed.
03At the end of the line the fresh oil runs out – this is what the new vintage looks like before it goes into bottles.
