WHO WE ARE

We have been involved in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) extraction since 1910.

We are owners of an olive oil mill in Vartholomio, Ilia, Greece

WHAT WE DO

A thousand metric tones of EVOO is produced by our mill.

WE JUST CHOOSE.

We choose 100% Koroneiki variety olives from a village near our mill.

This village is called Kastro Ilias.

It is located 226 Metres (741ft) above sea level and it is surrounded by the sea.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT OLIVE TREES LOCATED IN KASTRO VILLAGE

Fresh sea breezes pass through the olive trees.

Their altitude helps the sun "kiss" the olive trees all day long.

Ideal soil conditions.

HARVESTING

Harvesting is carried out by rural workers with long experience in hand picking olives. They use few mechanical aids and collect the olives in jute sacks (not plastic or nylon).

Harvesting period starts at the end of October and finishes at the beginning of January.

EXTRACTION

After harvesting , extraction has to be immediate (max 3 hours delay).

After the arrival of the olive crop at the mill, quality tests are carried out to determine its suitablility for the production of our "Queen".

Extraction at very low temperatures (below 26oC) combined with our three phase system, yields the best possible result.

The result is the Queen, Anassa Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Fruity taste,strong flavour and superb green colour combined with extremely low acidity (0.1 - 0.3)

STORAGE OF THE QUEEN

We produce our superior EVOO and then store it carefully until you request it.

Anassa Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is placed into storage directly after extraction. To preserve its wonderful quality, storage is in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks.

It comes to you totally unfiltered.

Every year the quantity of Anassa Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil differs. Climate is the only factor we cannot choose.
