ABOUT US
Our family is involved in olive cultivation, continuing a tradition that dates back centuries. In this context, we produce organic extra virgin olive oil.
Respecting the environment and sustainability, cultivating our olive trees in the traditional way of our ancestors, without using pesticides or chemical products that are prohibited in organic farming. Our olive groves have been certified for the production of organic products by approved certification bodies since the early 2000s.
Our family’s journey in olive oil began at our grandfather’s olive mill, which was modernized in the early 1990s. Today, our olive oil is extracted and bottled in state-of-the-art facilities, combining the knowledge of generations with modern standards.
Currently, Maria and Georgia Trikka, carries the story forward — continuing a relationship with the land that began generations ago.

OUR LAND
Our village is called Prosymna, located in Argolis and bordering the archaeological site of Mycenae. During the Mycenaean period, the valley of Prosymna was part of the realm of Mycenae, one of the great kingdoms of the time.
Archaeological research in the area reveals that, alongside cereal cultivation, people also cultivated olives, with traces of ancient olive presses found throughout the valley of our village.
In 1938, excavations by Axel W. Persson of the Swedish Institute at Athens uncovered a Mycenaean pottery workshop just 500 metres from our olive groves. The large decorated vessels discovered there, were used to store food and olive oil. Some of these vessels have been found as far away as Cyprus, Syria and other parts of the ancient world.
