Hello Sadune

I ONLY have one veriety..The famouse ATHENOLIA olive tree..dating back over 4000 year...

But let me agree with you..The same Athenolia olive tree 8 kilometers away in the valley..has an olive to oil ratio of 1 kilo of oil from 11 kilos of olives..9 percent oil.

The terrior ( climate, soil, tree, and the hand of mam ) ALL combined to make our area the perfect habitate for the Athenolia's extremly juicy high yields of 1 kilo of oil from 3 kilos of olives..33 percent oil..Not to mention over 8 year shelve life..
Durring wolrd war 2..my father and the rest of the villagers barried their olive oil from the gorrilas and the Germans..My father was the only one to realize that the oil lasted through the war, over ( 4 years ). So to this day I still conduct the test my ( father tought me) proving that my oil lasts over 8 years...I fill 5 small bottles and mark them..
Example:
1997Harvest ..3,4,5,6,7,8, then I will open bottle number 3 after 3 years, bottle number 4 after 4 years and so on up to bottle number 8 after 8 years, testing for viscosity, flavor, aroma. It's always the same results..still fresh, smooth, clean taste of the Athenolia olives. Most surprising is the fact that if I slightly over fill my bottles, they will blow the cork of the top like a fine champaign..startling us all.

I produce ONLY about 700-1200 bottles a year..depending on the year.
Very Rare, Very Unique but extremely hard work, all by hand and pressed in an old fashion slow pressure press..one of my pressings (700 kilos of olives) from start to finish will last over 3.5 hours.

Sadune when the harvest is over I can barely lift my arms above my shoulders from the pain..sometimes I can't even comb my hair..I harvest only with 4 to 5 highly experienced olive pickers who love and respect tradition..It's apinfull but the results are trully un-believable..the same flavor, aroma, longivity year after year, never changing. My olive oil tastes the same as it did 40 years ago.

Let me know if you would like futher info.

Sincerely
Mihalis
