I am Michael Theodore Sideris, I am Lucky where I was born, and I had a father who was a brilliant man and farmer. He taught me to maintain our Athenolia olive trees, stay small (currently 210 trees), wait for the olives to ripen, heavy pruning, hand harvest, and extract the oil using a cold process upto 7 hours per pressing.
Our Process
We wait to harvest perfectly ripe olives like you pick fruits and vegetables. Imagine drinking orange juice from oranges picked 2-3 months early. That is the same with olives when they are harvested early. The olives have not formed yet, and most of the oil, if any will be extracted (with heat) from the seeds. My father called these Olive Seed Oils. Grassy, Artichoke, peppery, makes you cough. That is the level of acid in that oil.

Try Terroir Driven Boutique Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the First Time in Your Life
The meticulous process of using ripe Athenolia olives, and the specific milling and separation process, sets Vordonia Athenolia LLC apart. Our Famous Athenolia EVOO has a very long shelf life. On purpose I saved a tin of our EVOO that is 12 years old and surprisingly still eatable.
