Akalli

Akalli is an extra-virgin olive oil handmade by the Zacharioudakis family, rooted in the Messara plain (southern Crete). It comes from century-old Throubolia and Koroneiki olive trees, carefully harvested to guarantee freshness, taste and goodness.

A family history steeped in tradition

Brothers Stelios and Manolis, sons and grandsons of Nicolao Zacharioudakis, have been growing and processing olives from an early age, using traditional methods – hand-care, same-day pressing, room-temperature management to preserve nutrients. The particular climate of the Messara plain, rich and sunny, contributes to the exceptional quality of their oil.
