What Goes Into Every Bottle
Fair Trade Certified
We’re audited every year by an independent third party and pay a $0.50 per liter premium into a fund the farmers and workers control.
Tree to Bottle Within 25 km
Olives from our family’s grove and partner farms, pressed at our own mill in Milas within hours of picking. Nobody in between.
Community & Culture
Olive oil is at the heart of our region. We buy from local growers and usually pay 25% to 50% above the market price for their olives.
Recipes From Our Table
From quick weeknight dinners to long Sunday tables, written by the Cooks of Heraclea and built around a good pour of olive oil.
