The Rest of the Story
Olive Crate
Rooted in the Argolis
Olive Crate is a family-owned business dedicated to producing premium extra virgin olive oil and authentic Greek products. Rooted in the rich agricultural traditions of the Argolis region in Greece, the company's journey began on the historic Kores plantation, a land celebrated for its superior Manaki olives and centuries-old olive oil cultivation. Today, the family carries on that legacy, delivering the finest cold-pressed, first-pressed extra virgin olive oil and other high-quality Greek delicacies to customers around the world.
From Grove to Bottle, Nothing in Between
For generations, the family has cultivated the Kores Estate, nestled in the sun-drenched hills of Argolis, home to the prized Manaki olive variety. The olives are grown without pesticides or chemicals, nourished entirely by natural irrigation and the Greek sun. At peak ripeness, they are hand-harvested with care and cold-pressed within hours to lock in every antioxidant, every nuance of flavor, and every health benefit the Manaki olive has to offer. This is what First Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil truly means: no shortcuts, no compromises, no additives, just the land, the olive, and generations of expertise.
Eco-Sustainability as Heritage, Not Trend
Long before "sustainable" became a marketing word, it was simply how this family farmed. They work in harmony with the land, protecting the soil, conserving water, and letting nature lead. The Kores Estate is a living ecosystem, and the family intends to keep it that way for generations to come. When you open a bottle of Olive Crate, you are opening a connection to this place, to the ancient groves, the Greek light, and the hands that have tended this land with love.
Beyond the Olive Oil
Olive Crate's commitment to quality extends beyond its flagship extra virgin olive oil. The family is proud to offer a range of award-winning balsamic vinegars, made with organic ingredients and crafted with the same attention to detail that defines their olive oil, along with olive wood kitchenware from talented artisans. As the company grows, Olive Crate continues to expand its offerings of authentic Greek foods, always aiming to bring the best of Greece to your table.
