Who we are
About the farm
Since the 1890s we have been growing olives and making olive oil in the village of Tsivaras, Apokoronas, in eastern Chania on Crete; today the fourth generation farms the groves and runs the family mill. In our facility, built in 2008 and upgraded in 2017, we cold-extract and bottle PDO Apokoronas extra virgin olive oil, an organic PGI Chania oil selected together with local farmers, and dressings pressed together with fruit and herbs. Visitors can drop in without booking for a free tour of the mill and the groves — from October to January they can also watch the pressing — and we sell our products on site and in our online shop, shipping across the EU.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
