Olive oil and olives have always been an integral part of the food and economy in Greece since the Homer era.
Greece as the third olive oil producer in the world ranking and first in the production of extra virgin olive oil, producing a product unique in taste, aroma and color.
There are several reasons affecting this result:
- Geographical location of the cultivation
- Fertilization of the soil and the trees
- Climate conditions
- Method of harvesting
- Technology and temperature of the oiling
- Maintenance technology of olive oil
In Greece, most olive groves are in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, near the sea, with great sunshine.
They also belong to small growers, who take care of their own trees, pick up the olives, deliver the olive oil directly to the olive press and personally monitor the oiling up to the last fruit of their harvest, as they were taught by their parents.
PURE DROPS® olive oil is produced in a unique, semi-mountainous olive grove of two hundred square meters by the sea, near the famous ancient theater of Epidaurus and Mycenae.
“Manaki”, only developed in Greece, is one of the main varieties of PURE DROPS® olive oil with organoleptic characteristics that classify it as exceptional virgin olive oil, such as:
- Extremely low acidity
- Deep and shiny green color, with bittersweet fruity taste

PURE DROPS HIGHLIGHTING WINES WORLDWIDE!
Wine has been an important part of Greek culture for over 4000 years, as the numerous archaeological discoveries throughout Greece indicate. The ancient Greeks knew well the nutritional value of wine as it became an inseparable part of their daily regimen.
They loved to organize intellectual gatherings called “symposia” where they would eat and talk about philosophical subjects while drinking wine. Our ancestors also realized the important influence of the local ecosystem on the characteristics of wine. They traded their wines throughout the ancient world inside sealed amphorae and even created their own Appellations of Origin. In recent years, the Greek wine industry has undergone tremendous improvements with serious investments in modern wine making technology. The new generation of native winemakers is being trained in the best wine schools around the world and their efforts are paying off as Greek wines continue to receive the highest awards in international competitions as well as the recognition they deserve throughout the world.
What makes Greek wine so unique are the more than 300 indigenous grape varieties grown there, some of which have been cultivated since ancient times. Many of the world’s best wine critics agree that the distinct flavors that come from these native grape varieties are a strong marketing advantage for the Greek wine industry. Many well-known international grape varieties are also used in Greek wine making. This extensive variety of grapes together with the moderate Greek climate, plentiful sunshine, low average rainfall and soils of moderate fertility combine to provide an excellent environment for the production of high-quality wines.
