We honour the art of
olive cultivation
Respect and care for the environment always come first.
For several years now, I have been cultivating my olive groves with a special regard for the environment, looking out for the health of my olive trees. Seven Olea Extra Virgin Olive Oil is now officially organic and with a health claim, an asset that sets it aside form the other olive oils. The know-how and learning at the Department of Agriculture of the Hellenic Mediterranean University, where I am currently a student, will help me further upgrade my olive oil by way of creating an optimal way of oil extraction through a model olive mill unit.

A FAMILY TRADITION THAT GOES ON
Producer Manos Kokkinelis’ Seven Olea extra virgin olive oil in Arkalohori, Heraklion is produced mainly from olives of the Koroneiki variety.
The olive fruit is harvested at the proper stage of maturity, which generally coincides with late October or early November. Olive oil processing takes place at a local mill within 24 hours of harvest.
