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.

- TKTerri K.Verified Buyer1 week agoReviewingLemon Infused Olive OilRated 5 out of 5 starsDelicious and authentic tasting
We love this oil for dipping bread, alone and with good balsamic vinegar. My husband and I like this lemon-infused flavor so much that we’ve replaced previous breakfast butter with this healthier olive oil.
- BABerin A.Verified Buyer1 month agoReviewingThe Bestsellers CollectionRated 5 out of 5 starsBiggest Fan!
Heraclea collections are perfect pairings with their smooth tastes across anything we cook. Thank you for your dedication to quality and for bringing us back to Aegean every time we use it.
- RNRobert N.Verified Buyer1 month agoReviewingMature Harvest EVOORated 5 out of 5 starsTASTE VALUE HEALTH THEN TASTE AGAIN BRAVO
For my heart-healthy diet selection of Heraclea EVOO has been the best decision since my heart attack. We use both the Spring and Autumn harvested oils because of the variety of tastes they present in any salad, meats, bread and toast, etc. We also use the herb & spice infused oils as well for even greater variety AND health. I buy regularly from them. I don't want to run out of these jewels-in-the-rough EVOOs!
