Established in 2014 by a young entrepreneur, Eftihis Androulakis, PAMAKO is the brainchild of a passionate Cretan who decided to build on a family tradition of several generations with the help of his family and his partner, Dorothea Ritter. We combine tradition with cutting edge technology to produce an olive oil that is exceptional in both taste and quality. Preserving traditional methods of sustainable organic cultivation and processing, we integrate them with the newest technology in order to get the best out of each olive and create a premium extra virgin olive oil.

They say that each generation reflects the values and ethos of its progenitors. In ANDROULAKI ESTATE, we, the new generation, stay true to the vision of the original proprietors George and Foteini Androulaki for excellence and quality over quantity. It all started when George purchased land enriched with ancient olive trees on Sitia Hills nearly 110 years ago. He then bought and replanted land of 20 acres with 100% Liatiko varieties and began employing modern viticulture practices, nurturing a team of local and international masters of their craft. His efforts quickly established one of Cretes’ premier estates, the Androulakis Family Estate, now among Sitia Valley’s most acclaimed labels. ANDROULAKI ESTATE products are currently harvested, blended, and produced entirely by hand from olives, grapes, honey, and herbs planted and grown on the original 120-acre estate. All products are bottled, labeled, wrapped, and packed by hand on the estate, then shipped directly with the highest standards, serving both customers and our family ideals.

Antoniou olive press is a traditional family business with a history of three generations since functioning the first olive press in the small village of Glossa. For over 130 years our mill produces extra virgin olive oil of the families of the island of Skopelos. Continuing in the second generation with the grandfather Ioannis G. Antoniou, traditional olive oil production goes in the most modern way, applying the hydraulic presses and then the centrifugal machines. The traditional olive groves of our family are located in the northwestern part of the island of Skopelos and around the village of Glossa at an altitude of 250m, with a total area of ​​60 acres. The varieties that are cultivated are the Amphis (local Skopelos) and the Koroneiki. The fruit is picked in the traditional way from the tree (olive and olive oil) and placed in a crate, in order to avoid breakage or damage. The pressing of the olive fruit is carried out strictly within 24 hours of harvest and at a temperature not exceeding 27 degrees Celsius. Following the tradition, the Antoniou family today produces, selects and standardizes excellent quality extra virgin olive oil with its rich nutrients, the perfect aroma and the fruity taste of the fresh and healthy olive fruit.

Otus Scops is an Extra Virgin olive oil of a higher category that is produced directly from olives and only by mechanical methods. The local Manaki variety thrives in this oil with its special fruity, rich and spicy taste.
