Would you like to know more about our olive oil subscriptions? Got ya! We harvest our olive oil in Crete on our own land and that of befriended farmers that live close to us. Gkazas Olive Oil has grown enormously, thanks in part to your enthusiasm. However, in order to sustain this year-on-year increase in demand, we’ve had to ask local farmers to help us out. A big plus is that we know them and their way of harvesting olives. For example, we all harvest in the most authentic way; manually. We then lay large nets on the ground and knock the olives out of the tree with sticks.

After that, we directly bring the harvested olives to the olive presses that are situated nearby. Only in this way is the quality of the olives guaranteed and is it possible for us to ensure that we produce the highest quality extra virgin olive oil. The indicator here is that the oil must be as the Greeks like it. Yes, that is a challenge, but luckily we manage to meet these high-quality requirements every year. Now it’s a matter of patience. We leave the extra virgin olive oil for a few months so that it can filter itself. All heavy particles sink to the bottom and the olive oil takes on its golden yellow color.

Finally, the extra virgin olive oil is loaded and ready for transport. Thus, we ensure it is fresh from tree to bottle. Or from tree to can of course. And since we increasingly heard from people that they also love some convenience, now also in the form of our Gkazas Olive Oil subscriptions. The same quality olive oil delivered straight to your doorstep through the letterbox!
