Our olive groves sit on sun-drenched hillsides in southern Crete, where the Mediterranean climate and rocky soil create perfect conditions for Koroneiki olives. The same trees our great-grandparents planted still bear fruit today.

We cultivate ancient Koroneiki trees using traditional, organic farming methods. No pesticides or chemical fertilizers ever touch our soil, ensuring the purest expression of the Cretan terroir.

Timing is everything. We hand-pick our olives in early November, just as they begin to turn from green to purple. This early harvest yields less oil, but maximizes the polyphenol content and vibrant peppery flavor.

Within four hours of leaving the branch, our olives are cold-pressed at temperatures strictly below 24°C. We bottle our oil unfiltered to preserve every drop of flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.

The result is a liquid gold of exceptional quality. Rigorous independent lab testing confirms our commitment to excellence, with an ultra-low acidity and extraordinary polyphenol count that places Asterius Reserve among the world's finest.

From our family groves in Crete directly to your table. Each bottle of Asterius Reserve is carefully packaged to protect it from light and heat, ensuring the oil you taste is as fresh as the day it was pressed.
