Greek Organic Green Olives – Greenolia – 2Kg

Green Conservolia is created with strictly organic farming standards in the family olive groves in Stilida. In August we start closely monitoring the green fruit ripening rate in order to harvest it just before it gets over ripe (veraison stage). We harvest by hand so as to avoid bruising the fruit. The quality sorting follows immediately after.
Its package preserves its special flavour and natural characteristics as well as the human labour invested in its organic identity, from the harvest to your table.

One of the most important principles of Greenolia is the use of certified quality procedures and know-how. From collection to packaging we apply a solid best practice policy of integrated management and organic farming and we control all stages of production, processing and standardization. Our olive oil production includes the following production stages:

We harvest the fruit before it ripens completely in order to preserve the ideal organoleptic properties. We carefully sort out the fruit by hand before it goes through the grading machine located in our facilities. We follow the same process for table olives as well as for those destined to become olive oil. On the very day, we transfer the fruit to the oil mill. The perforated plastic transfer containers allow the air to go through and prevent the fruit from getting crushed, in order to avoid fungi, yeasts and bacteria that undermine the quality of the produced olive oil. The containers are meticulously cleaned after every use.

By using the cold pressed method for the extraction of Greenolia olive oil we guarantee a higher quality product, pure and unaffected from high temperature processing. The extracted olive oil is submitted to exhaustive – physicochemical and organoleptic– testings in order to ensure that it meets our strict quality standards.

In controlled atmosphere conditions the olive oil is now ready to be stored in certified stainless steel tanks. We use airless tanks (nitrogen use) so as to avoid any oxidation and preserve all of its nutrients.

We searched thoroughly in order to locate the best certified bottlers for the final bottling of Greenolia olive oil. We are certain that the units we chose cover our demand for excellent bottling and meticulous cleaning conditions, which is why they have become our trusted partners.

As a pilot, Apostolos Gkletsos spent a large part of his professional life in the Air Force. For many years the family olive groves were simply part of his childhood memories. At some point, however, they began to take on the shape of an alternative professional -and unexpectedly charming- perspective. His vision, as well as his love for nature and its valuable fruit, was shared by Kerasia Skiathiti who, as a chemist, brought to Greenolia a different and particularly useful background. This is how Greenolia began its journey· a family business that gradually grew, becoming a group of people that share the same vision and love for the olive tree and its production.

Driving force behind Greenolia is our love for the Greek nature. This is our starting point, our focus and our pride. We respect and serve it. We cultivate our own olive groves. We also work together with recognized certified growers, millers and standardizers who share our high quality standards. Tasty and healthy eating is our passion. This is why we want to offer the consumer an honest product that he can trust and will be able to incorporate into his everyday life, enjoying its unique quality and special value.

In Greenolia we believe that the Greek land is precious and unique. We express this conviction in the packaging of our products, where beautiful, inspiring and characteristic Greek images are chosen and depicted. The journey of our products begins in the family olive groves, in the area of ​​Stylida, on the outskirts of Mount Othrys, with olives of the Amfissis (Konservoelia) variety. It also starts in small selected olive groves in Peloponnese -one of the largest olive-growing areas of Greece with the famous Koroneiki variety. We have made them part of the Greenolia products because we share the same philosophy and high quality standards with their producers.
