What people ask before they order oil from a farm in another country
Why does 5 litres from the farm cost less than in a German shop, if the oil is the same quality?
Because there is no importer and no shop margin. You pay the farm price plus delivery. The lab values above show the quality, you do not have to take our word for it.
How does oil stay fresh for 12 to 18 months in a closed tin?
Light and air are what age olive oil. A sealed tin keeps out both. Once open, pour a week's worth into a dark bottle and keep the tin closed in a cool cupboard.
What does acidity below 0,8 % on the label actually tell me?
Low acidity means the olives were healthy and pressed quickly after picking. It is the first thing a lab checks to decide whether oil can be called extra virgin.
Which olive variety goes into the tin and when was it harvested?
Koroneiki and Tsounati, harvested in November 2025. The harvest date is printed on every tin.
Can I taste the oil at the winery in Katochori before I order?
Yes. Ask for it at any tasting, Monday to Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm. Order at the farm and we ship it home for you.
What happens if the tin arrives dented or leaking?
Send a photo to WhatsApp within 7 days. We ship a replacement at our cost.
Send the order and we confirm delivery cost and payment within 12 hours
Pay by card or bank transfer once we confirm. Nothing is charged before that.
