Our logo

Our logo features the ancestral coat of arms of our family, which depicts a dove sitting on the globe and carrying an olive branch in its beak.

In addition to representing our family heritage, we chose it as our representation because it expresses the ideal of global peace and also symbolizes the spiritual and material importance of olives as food for the mind and body that transcends cultures around the world.

About Lesvos

Lesvos is the third largest Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea. In addition to an abundance of olive trees, there are also many orchards, aromatic herbs and other flora, making it a botanical paradise. Not for nothing did the Ottomans call it the "Garden of the Aegean".

This is the home of our family and where the history of our company begins with the production of premium extra virgin olive oil that takes advantage of the unique organoleptic properties of the original Kolovi olive variety.

Lesvos has a long history of olive oil production. During the excavations an olive press from the Bronze Age was discovered, dating back to the period 2800-2000 BC. Large areas of olive groves on terraced hills cover almost 30% of the island in the eastern and southern parts and almost 80% of the arable land on the island.

With over eleven million trees and a population of approximately 90,000, Lesvos has by far the largest number of olive trees per capita in the world. Many of these trees are hundreds of years old, as evidenced by their thick and twisted trunks. The cultivation of olive trees and the production of olive oil are therefore one of the most important economic activities in Lesbos.

Lesvos is also known for its natural beauty, its abundance of sunshine, its lively ecosystems that include not only flora but also fauna, and its very diverse landscape, from the lush greenery in the east and south to the wild volcanic west with its petrified forest, one of the largest in the world.
