If there is bitterness in the olive oil this will spoil the taste of the dishes, although peppery sensation in the aftertaste is an essential feature of good olive oil. Some farmers add this sensation by crushing the seeds together, but the grower and producer, Dionyssis Logothetis, never does. Instead, he created his own mill in his farm. He imported a stone milling machine from Italy and installed in his mill. Unlike other type of pressing equipment, stone milling produces less bitterness even though it requires a lot more labour. It is crucial to press olive fruits after the harvest. It is said that the olive must be pressed within 48 hours after the harvest to be an extra virgin oil. However, olive fruits are pressed right after the harvest at Logothetis farm. Most of olive growers need to ask a cooperative or an olive oil company in the area to press the oil. Therefore, they need to wait for their turn to use the mill and quality of oil is deteriorated while waiting. Sometimes, the mill is fully booked and they cannot press in time. Logothetis family is creating the best possible environment for olive oil production investing all their time and efforts. We believe his passion for the highest quality olive oil will help people enjoy their meals and spend healthier lives.
