Since 1865, the Vassilakis family has produced extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on their estate in the Mirabello region of Crete, one of the area’s first olive producers.

The current Vassilakis generation took over in 1980, preserving time-honoured cultivating and harvesting methods that respect the environment, while investing in state-of-the art extraction,
standardization and storage facilities. 

The olives – Koroneiki olives – are harvested when perfectly ripe, cold-extracted on-site within a few hours on the same day and stored under ideal conditions, thus preserving the oil’s subtle flavour and nutritional characteristics.

The philosophy of the Vassilakis Estate is to offer good food the Vassilakis family enjoys to a wider audience. The family’s dedication has been rewarded with numerous international quality awards.
