Mia Elia | from Lesvos' Hilltops with Love!

Our groves are in Plomari district and our variety is mainly the single-origin Kolovi, which gives our olive oil an intense, fruity and full-body flavor.

The trees date back to 1850 when they were replanted after a big frost that destroyed the vast majority of olive trees in Lesvos.

The new trees, together with the main varieties, were carried to the mountainsides, on the backs of the farmers and their animals.

The new trees grew to be ten times bigger than the originals, as they were very resilient to cold weather.

During the following decades, the island met great growth and Lesvian olive oil was worldwide recognized as top quality.
