“Greece remains a great olive oil producing nation and Eliris Olive Oil is the best I've tried - aromatic & full of flavour. Great pouring properties, too. I feel confident using this in my restaurants.”

“Today Sam and Iris have revived the grove and are producing really first class oil on the farm. BeBecause of the range of olive varieties used the oil seems to have greater taste and flavour dimensions than oils pressed exclusively from Koroneiki, which is the norm in Greece.”

“A delicate-bodied oil with considerable personality (itself a rarity). Gentle pungency and almost no bitterness – in fact a pleasing impression of sweetness, yyet cleanness in the mouth. Delicate aromas of green vegetables and herbs.”

“Your oil is amazing, we are very proud to use yourexceptional product!”

THE LEGACY OFA DREAM

Founded by Iris’ late father, Euripides Efthimiadis in 1974, the estate was chosen for its stunning position in the foothills of the Menikio mountains and specifically for its perfect growing conditions for olive & nut trees.

His passion for good food & nature, led him to plant the estate with olive, almond, fig, walnut & many fruit ttrees, such as peach, pear, apple, pomegranate & cherry.

Euripides devoted all his spare time to the grove & his family, planting a rare collection of 2,500 olive trees of legendary varieties from the four corners of Greece. A lake was created, fed with fresh mountain spring water to irrigate the young olive trees.

He fully believed in an organic approach to cultivating oliolives, but unfortunately didn’t get to live his dream of sharing the fruits of the grove with others.

“It is this legacy that we have returned to fulfil, embracing his passion & work ethic, to create fine olive oil, table olives and tapanade from our cherished trees.”

TODAY, Ktima Efthimiadi is managed ‘with meraki’ by Iris & Sam, who met while working in London. Iris returned home in October 2008 to honour her father’s memory by tending her family’s land, rejuvenating the grove and building a business of real value.

Together with her English fiancé, Sam, they have embembraced time-honoured organic methods for sustainable agriculture, proudly producing the finest quality, fresh products from their cherished family olive trees, with a commitment to quality, the environment and support for the local, rural economy.

“We are both passionate and dedicated to our craft. It’s more than just the joy of working with nature and supporting our familour family, it’s about making a positive impact on the world, producing something of real value and sharing our story with those who are inspired to join us for the journey.”

AromaFresh sparky citrus fruit zest – lemon and kumquat – and strong tomatoes-on the vine. ere are also hints of apples, green leaves and a touch of nuts.

TasteVery similar patterns in the mouth with tomatoes coming to the the fore. Quite strong bitterness comes in followed by a strong slug of pepper but the fruit tones remain throughout. e pepper fades a little leading to an excellent after taste of spicy tomato juice with green leaves and herbs.

StyleA robust style of oil that is well balanced with good bitterness and strong pepper and fruit.

OOverall Assessmentis first class oil has great complexity with good balance. It is again stunning.
