HOW THE IDEA WAS BORN
MY OLIVE TREE OLIVE OIL
In 2012 we decided to share our olive products with people who appreciate similar tastes and values. Brothers Panayiotis and Georgios -began by mobilizing the best talent in every related field, i.e. agriculture, quality control, taste, and design and packaging. The end result of this careful process, is offered under the name “My Olive Tree“, with the utmost care, in selected gourmet points around the world.
MY OLIVE TREE
THE GROVE
Extra Virgin Olive oil extracted from family-owned olive trees has been an essential part of our every-day diet. The Olive Groves, are located in the Southwestern Peloponesus of Greece. This region is favored by temperate weather, abundant sunshine and a rocky soil which are naturally ideal growing conditions for the Koroneiki variety of trees. Our trees have been family-owned for generations and consist solely of trees of the Koroneiki variety, producing our exceptional, multi-awarded Extra Virgin Olive oil.
THE HARVEST
Harvesting season has always been a festival for us.Friend and relatives join us in late fall to take part in the olive oil extraction process. The process has been the same for decades. Olives are hand picked from the olive trees and within hours pressed in the local press mill.
DESIGN
We believe presentation of a product is an essential part of pleasing our customers. We gave a great deal of thought to the packaging design. We wanted a package that is simple and direct.
When we first visited the design agency with whom we worked on the packaging, we asked for a simple but elegant way to present our product. A child’s drawing of a tree with our family names on the branches superimposed on a white canvas was their answer -.an Olive Tree; Our Olive Tree.
