Nestled in the hills above Kalamata, Greece, Chrysofora, meaning ‘bearing gold,’ echoes the lush olive groves that have thrived for over 4,000 years. This familial connection to the ancient olive tree tradition has been passed down through generations, resulting in a terroir that yields some of the most exquisite and heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil.
The village’s name, inspired by the liquid gold it produces, encapsulates the essence of the region’s continuous cultivation, from the era of ancient gods to the present day. The family’s commitment to the land is reflected in the packaging-a captivating doodle of an ancient goddess adorned in gold, symbolizing the precious elixir within.
Chrysofora’s organic, first-press, cold-crush Koroneiki olive oil is a testament to their dedication to quality. Each year’s unique harvest guides the family in crafting this 100% organic oil. Handpicking ensures low acidity, and the olives undergo immediate malaxation and centrifugation to extract the finest supernatant oil.
This sustainable, small-batch farm not only produces a delicious elixir but does so with love and a profound respect for the environment. The commitment to organic practices and careful cultivation exemplifies their dedication to crafting a product that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also supports a healthy lifestyle.
Chrysofora stands as a beacon of tradition and sustainability, embodying the harmonious relationship between the land, the olive tree, and the meticulous care of generations. This family’s story is one of love for the land, a reverence for tradition, and the pursuit of excellence in every golden drop of their liquid treasure.
