Superior Farming & Milling Practices

By choosing our premium olive oil, you are supporting sustainable agriculture, the environment and a generations old family farm. We cultivate our olive trees using “beyond organic” methods and harvest our olives with great responsibility in order to protect the trees for years to come. Most of our trees are around 500 years old – we take good
care of them!

Our innovative milling process combines age-old knowledge with modern techniques. We gently mill and press the oil in optimal cold temperatures to preserve as many of the precious natural phenols as possible and the result is a superior quality olive oil that surpasses any international standards.

A few words about the variety

Firstly brought on the island of Corfu by the ancient Corinthians around 730 BC, lianolia olive trees exist nowadays exclusively on the island of Corfu. Belonging to the wild category of oleo craneomorpha, it produces olives only once every two years. Due to its large expansion of up to 14 meters wide, the Venetians that occupied Corfu used to plant these olive trees in order to fortify the island from pirate invasions. Due to this reason, Corfu has the only olive tree rainforest in the world.

The Governor

For over 100 years, the Dafnis Family produces olive oil on the island of Corfu carefully tending the centenarian “lianolia” variety.
