It was produced from truly aged trees located in our mountain olive groves, located at an altitude of 500 to 550 meters. Our oldest tree in this olive grove is over 800 years old, which represents 12 generations. These old-fashioned olive groves have difficult, uneven terrain and have been left in their original form, without any disturbance. In this way, we have respected the effort and the way in which these trees have survived through the centuries while allowing them to complete their life cycle.

In accordance with traditional growing techniques, to create this olive oil we followed classically established practices. To keep The Legacy Olive Oil “just like it was before”, all manual work is done by hand, including trimming, trimming, collecting, etc. This process is both expensive and time-consuming, but it fits our vision of creating a truly artisanal product. This heritage is combined with cutting-edge cold extraction methodologies that capture its core original essence, thereby bottling it.

The harvest schedule for this range has been planned during the olive tree’s ripe season, which in Peloponnese begins at the end of November and ends at the end of December, following the natural life cycle of these trees.
